Sarwar was on BBC Radio Scotland this morning chatting shite about how ScotLab will smash the SNP, in response to this election result.
Mans only has one thing to say, Swinney lives rent free in his heid at all times.
The whole point of the interview was analysis of this Green victory and what that could mean for the Labour party going forward, and instead he couldn’t stop blethering about the SNP.
I don’t know much about the man but I found this
He has described himself as a “libertarian Marxist”.[46]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis
Libertarian Marxism is a broad scope of economic and political philosophies that emphasize the anti-authoritarian and libertarian aspects of Marxism.[211] Early currents of libertarian Marxism such as left communism[212] emerged in opposition to Marxism–Leninism.[213] Libertarian Marxism is often critical of reformist positions such as those held by social democrats.[214]

Exactly. How else are you meant to “catch 'em all!”? It’s a Sisyphean task otherwise
They’re a private company now, no?
If the government want a prioritised letter service they should provide a publicly funded prioritised letter service.
Call it People’s Mail to distinguish it from the stain of royalty and provide a much better service than Royal Mail can offer.
But that assumes that New Labour are a) competent b) care about public services for the good of the average person. Neither of which assumptions stand up to scrutiny.
Senior Scotland Yard officers were meeting Hoyle in person on Wednesday afternoon to explain their error, which is regarded internally as a serious breach of protocol.
An official custody document shared with Mandelson’s lawyers is understood to have referred to the Lords speaker as the source of the information – a mistaken reference to Hoyle, the Commons speaker.
After the Lords speaker, Michael Forsyth, said it was “entirely false and without foundation” to say he had tipped off police, Hoyle went public with the fact it was him.
Incompetence on top of incompetence. The Met are really putting their best and brightest on this case.
Fascists don’t tend to stick to promises… Or free and fair elections for that matter.
It’s not like Farage has a reputation for honesty, either

Is it not just a heat gun with a shaped nose? It’ll soften and expand the pipe slightly before fitting them together, where they’ll cool and constrict into place
Heat guns are also used to make plastics such as PVC piping pliable for the purposes of bending
Ross’s behaviour on Tuesday evening has sparked anger among many MSPs.
One told BBC Scotland News he was acting like a child. Another claimed Ross was just trying to get publicity, while a third described him as an embarrassment.
I think it’s all three.
Good news though!
Ross, who is standing down as an MSP at May’s election
Good fucking riddance
The killing of kids with £2 chicken and chips
Is a tactic of war, waged on the poor
Can’t save wages on slave wages
And you don’t think fresh fruit with your face on the floor
Nah, you need money for the kids
Rent and light plus food in the fridge
But that last box can be the hardest tick
Cos scraps will suffice but they might make you sick
Why is the Guardian using kid gloves and calling them hard right? It’s a bullshit label like alt-right all over again.
They’re fucking far right, fascists.
It can still be unanimous among the rest of the nations to be deemed legitimate.
Freedom of association encompasses both an individual’s right to join or leave groups voluntarily, the right of the group to take collective action to pursue the interests of its members, and the right of an association to accept or decline membership based on certain criteria. It can be described as the right of a person coming together with other individuals to collectively express, promote, pursue and/or defend common interests.[1]
Freedom of association is both an individual right and a collective right, guaranteed by all modern and democratic legal systems, including the United States Bill of Rights, article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights, section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and international law, including articles 20 and 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and article 22 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work by the International Labour Organization also ensures these rights.

Hungary is undermining the EU at every turn, if the rest of the membership wish to boot them out I think it would be quite easy for them to write up a compelling case for how and why.
Calocane, who was a student at University of Nottingham at the time, later had a mental health assessment where he described hearing voices. The assessment concluded Calocane was dealing with a first episode of psychosis, which was attributed to sleep deprivation and exam-related stress.
Langdale said a doctor involved in the assessment had been “leaning towards” sectioning Calocane due to it being his “first presentation of psychosis” and a lack of information about his risk history. However, a team of mental health professionals considered research evidence that examined the over-representation of young black men in detention.
It’s shit like this that gives the racists ammo.
I’m not a medical expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I may be talking out my arse here, but it sounds like unless it’s explicitly pertinent to the assessment the team shouldn’t be made aware of the ethnicity of the person they’re assessing. So they can neither positively or negatively discriminate.
Thank fuck. I think of this song every time proposals like this come up:
They made a desert where trees once stood
Squeezing from the land every penny that they could
Ethnic cleaning of the glens for farming sheep
'Cos that way there’s more profit for the rich scum to reap (rape)
“Beautiful bleak moorland?”- I don’t think so
This is a place where great forests used to grow
Laid waste by a rich man’s greed
Reclaim the land and plant the seed
BBC are about as genuinely sorry as BP were after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill
No need to do their fearmongering for them.
Fascists are never as powerful as they project. Their whole ideology consists of scaring people into line because they don’t have the means to do it any other way. Don’t let the bastards win.
Our strength is in numbers, we outnumber them immensely, not fracturing into individualists in some hope that it will result in self preservation. It’s a stupid tactic that backfires for both the antifascist movement as a whole and individuals.
Scottish Labour’sSarwar’s Manifesto:‘am no’ the fucking SNP, ‘am no’ the racist Reform, 'am amazing, vote for me! I mean, us. Aye, us, Labour. Sorry, Scottish Labour. 👀
Gi’e me the joab already! Wahhhhhh
I’ve had some Scot Lab adverts show up and they all had ANAS SARWAR in massive writing at the end instead of Scottish Labour
