New Scot. Opinionated & sweary af. Rural sociology and health with a side order of coproduction and weird recipes. Living with Long Covid.

Racists, TERFs, misogynists, and fascists blocked.
This was a great counter demo. It’s a pity the fash decided to hold it in a residential area. That’s likely because the organisers aren’t from here so they don’t care.
#HighlandsAgainstHate held a successful counter demo in Inverness today against far-right activists (who travelled from elsewhere to stir up racial hatred in our welcoming community). The visiting fascists were outnumbered over 3:1 by decent Highlanders! 🙂

The Venn diagram of Terfs and fascists genuinely seems to be a perfect circle.

The day also turned out badly for the far-right in Inverness. SUTR Scotland joined in with the Highlands Against Hate group who had called the second counter-protest against the far-right in a fortnight.

SUTR SCOTLAND ANALYSIS PIECE:
Falkirk unites against the far-right, Inverness humiliates the fascists

Anti-racists and anti-fascists across Scotland scored two crucial victories today.

Well, well, well, who’d have thought that the troublemakers bussed into Inverness this weekend include racists, white replacement conspiracy theorists and convicted domestic abusers? www.northern-scot.co.uk/news/exclusi... (use “reader view” to read article)

Wes Streeting - a man who looks like he'd smash frogs with hammers to unwind - is concerned about the mental state of the nuerodivergent

The sensibles keep trying to make out that Streeting is the secret competent who'll set Labour on the right track but he reads from the exact same Heritage Foundation playbook as McSweeney.
I’d prefer it if he conducted an investigation into why it takes so long for ADHD people to be diagnosed and put onto a treatment plan by the NHS, personally. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnoses
The health secretary says the aim is to tackle a rising demand for services and pressure on the NHS.

From Falkirk to Aberdeen, Dundee to Inverness. Far right groups are attending anti-asylum protests across Scotland.

We spent three months investigating. People doxxed, attacked, threatened. And communities standing firm.

Our first monthly long read.

Get along to Inverness this Saturday to tell the far-right, fascists, and racists being bussed in from away south that we don't want their hate here.
