Fellas, is it politically radical to not be a greedy, self serving cunt?
Radical? Lowering bills, reducing rents, defending our NHS, and refusing to arm genocide.
The real radicals are in government - and the commentariat that “warns” you when we all dare to say: it doesn’t have to be like this.

The SNP have just blocked our motion, confirming they no longer oppose the Rosebank oil field application.
If Rosebank goes ahead it'll be a grave act of environmental vandalism. This is a huge step backwards for Scotland's climate action.

Today the Scottish Parliament will vote on our motion opposing Rosebank.
The oil field would release a massive 250 million tonnes of new carbon emissions into our atmosphere, 50 times as much as previously admitted!
We must put people and planet first, not corporate profits.

Churchill didn't hate "fascism", nor did he have an opinion of "we don't debate fascists". He supported the fascist forces in the Spanish civil war and in the 1930s said Nazi antisemitism "was a hindrance and an irritation, but probably not a complete obstacle to a working agreement."
