Previously on ACMD's Breaking Bad

This week, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) fired the latest salvo in the Government’s increasingly farcical response to the manufactured panic around ‘designer drugs’- in other words substances that are created and marketed specifically to get around existing drug laws. The ‘designer drugs’ story has all the ingredients of the best [...]

Election Liveblog

The polls are closed, and we’ll know the results of the Scottish parliament elections, and whether or not Westminister has a different shitey voting system (SO EXCITING!) by Friday morning.  SSY teams will be bringing you amazing liveblogging from the Glasgow and North East counts, with extra reporting from SSY’s secret underground complex. But this [...]

Fight Cuts at the Ballot Box and in the Streets

Polls opened this morning and votes are currently being cast in the Scottish Parliamentary election. As #2 candidate on the Scottish Socialist Party‘s Glasgow Regional List, I should be out at the polling stations, desperately trying to convince voters to put an ‘X’ beside Scotland’s only party of independence, socialism and internationalism. The bogging weather [...]

Aaron Porter flees to Switzerland with Mubarak.

Well not exactly – so far both the tyrannical Labour careerist and despotic leader of Egypt still cling to power, but at yesterday’s demo against cuts in EMA some students finally got close enough to their “leader” to tell them exactly what they think of him, leading him to flee the demo he was supposed [...]

Ed Miliband won't even MARCH against cuts

Ed Miliband is the leader of the Labour party, the official parliamentary opposition to the Coalition government. Ed was elected on the back of trade union votes to this position, and relies on the subs paid by ordinary trade union members to keep his party going. So with the Coalition – remember, the ones that [...]

Taliban more popular than Lib Dems, polling shows.

As the Lib Dems prepare for their first election – a by-election in Oldham – since they jumped in bed wi the Tories, it’s looking likely that not only will they not be able to win the seat, but they will be crushed at the polls. Even David Cameron has felt some sympathy for the [...]

Vodafone are dodgy bastards – Part 2!

This weekend people are coming out again to protest against the tax dodging greedy megacorp Vodafone. At 10am at St Enoch’s subway, Glasgow (if there’s going to be anything happening elsewhere in Scotland this weekend, get in touch and let us know!)  the people’s debt collectors will be meeting again to try and recover some [...]

Labour MP kicked out for being a racist fuck

Notorious New Labour Knobhead Phil Woolas is facing explusion from Parliament after a court ruled today that he’d broken electoral law during his successful re-election campaign in May. This is after he lied throughout his election material, which falsely claimed that his rival Lib Dem candidate was being “wooed” by Islamist extremists. Indeed, it didn’t [...]

Red Ed? Don't think so.

After the most vicious battle between two brothers since Van Damme vs Van Damme in Double Impact, the victor for Labour leader has finally been declared. In a surprising result, Ed Miliband has defeated his brother David, despite being much geekier with him, not as good with women and not allowed to stay up as [...]

Your first for nooooz

I hear from my super sleekit pals in the meedjuh that Ruth Black, the Glasgow councillor and manager of the Glasgow LGBT centre who I just finished writing about, has been expelled from the Labour Party! Deary me. I guess there might be some truth in some of those accusations after all…? Perhaps a website [...]
