Scottish cities are falling apart because the SNP froze council tax for a decade and failed to reform it entirely.
Scotland needs a local land value tax, totally under municipal control, so we can invest in our urban centres the way Mamdani is planning to invest in NY

I think its mostly a symptom of the far right destroying culture, and thus making more and more people nostalgic and looking back to the past with rose tinted glasses.
Ah the 1970s.
Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Fascism thrives on ignorance, which is why quality public journalism is such an existential threat.
I see this a lot in Canada too, where our local far-right hobgoblins are constantly trying to take down the CBC.
Our adversaries want to control the entire information landscape. We can't allow it.

There's lots you can and should criticise the BBC for.
But it's our BBC - and it's important.
Great to speak to CNN - Donald Trump shouldn't have his hands anywhere near our public services.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

This is why this matters to Trump. And why it will be a tragedy when the BBC kowtow.
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

I think we're going to see more of this. If you read the OSA from elsewhere, no matter what type of content you produce, you might decide the safest thing to do is block the UK in case you write about sex at some point.

Honestly terrifying that the BBC can run an unhinged story about lesbians being forced to have sex with trans women, with one of the main sources being a rapist who responded to the story's publication by calling for trans people to all be hung, and the Official Consensus is they are too pro-trans

Honestly the weirdest thing about America is that you are actively encouraged to self-ID as "pro life" and "Christian" while actively advocating for state-mandated murder.
Is anyone else finding America particularly terrifying right now? Here we have a “pro-life” Christian man calling for Stevie Nicks to be executed and pastors are preaching that the 19th amendment that allows women the vote should be repealed.

Switch to Tidal. Do the trial. Its SOOOOO much better for music. Has all the playlist imports and settings you could want as well.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

I was at the Spurs v Chelsea match a week ago
Two Spurs fans near me used that homophobic slur
I called them out - not an easy or safe thing to do, especially as a woman in that environment
But once I did, others turned and stared them down
They went quiet after that
Speaking up matters

The prospect of a three-year ban is a strong deterrent from Man Utd for fans using discriminatory language, including on social media.
Importantly, there’s also an appeals process, and the club’s #LGBTQ supporters group calls for education.
