FVTUiC supports the demands of the Palestine Action hunger strikers. Their protest shines a light on the unbearable suffering of the Palestinian people who are displaced as a result of ethnic cleansing through violence and torture. The UK Government is complicit #freepalestine #hungerstrike #gaza

During the miners strikes of 84-85, in the Lothian coalfields and beyond, it wasn’t politicians that kept people going, it was community-neighbours feeding families, women organising kitchens, workers from other industries giving what little they had. Dalkeith & Mayfield retired Miners Xmas party ✊🏼

Imagine Reform coming to Falkirk just to announce you have your first defection from the House of Lords.
"People of Falkirk, a man who is just like you, LORD OFFORD! From his background as a New York Banker to becoming a Lord after donating £147 thousand pounds to them"

Scotland has never been a utopia free of racism.
Its ugly side has been seen for centuries.
Right now racist hatred is targeting the most vulnerable in our communities.
Our appeal aims to make sure that people are given the chance to start again in safety.
