Long Live the Market! All Hail the Market!

Well, as socialists are now groaning and rolling up their sleeves for years of struggle as the Tories and the Liberals prepare to attack living standards and services, and with Labour and the SNP mouthing opposition but doing nothing to stop them (and passing them on through local parliaments and councils), there is another aspect [...]

Resist the Tory/Liberal occupation of Scotland

After 13 years out of Government – the bastards are back. And in the ironies or ironies, it was with the help of Guardian readers; the Tories are in power thanks to a leg up from the Lib Dems, millions of people who voted for the abolition of Trident and other progressive policies will now [...]

"Sky News is Shit!"

Check out this video of protesters live on air declaring Sky News to be the utter shite we know it is: Eventually Sky had to cut away and just broadcast their logo for a bit. The protests were sparked after Sky presenter Kay Burley went mental at a spokesman for the protesters who were out [...]

Gordon Brown – in memoriam.

Well he’s finally done it, like a bullied teenager forced into taking weed by his peers, Gordon Brown has bottled it and given into pressure.

You might remember from the live coverage we gave in our liveblog that [...]

It's a HUNG Parliament!

The way I’d have it, anyway.

The Good Guys

Despite an incoming Tory Government ready to enact a brutal austerity Government, possibly in coalition with Liberal Democrat’s selling out, there are a few good results from the general election worth mentioning. A small number of left-wing and Green MP’s were elected to Westminster that are worth a mention. Caroline Lucas, already elected to the [...]

Alfie McKenzie = legend

A 14 year old from Lancashire has proved that youth have got something to say about politics. Alfie McKenzie was accidentally issued with a polling card for the election, after an administrative mistake. Instead of accepting that as an under-18 he should just shut up and accept whatever older folk decide is best for him, [...]

Barking isn't Barking.

Since 2001 the BNP have made steady inroads into British politics, gradually building up a significant base in local councils, and expanding slowly but surely into other arenas – winning a seat on the Greater London Assembly and their highpoint last year, winning 2 seats in the European Parliament. It’s almost been a grudging acceptance [...]
