Nigel Farage’s supporters don’t like it when you point out that he’s talking about cutting the minimum wage for young workers.
Or that he’s pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work” since the election.
Because it exposes the truth about this self-styled “man of the people”.

Talk of 'Britishness', and panning 'immigrants', demanding the race of the attacker be revealed,
Never once demanding the ethnicity of the brave man who saved dozens of lives

England has a deeply troubling far-right problem that Keir Starmer is simply not opposing.
This has to stop, none of this is about free speech, it is fascism, and it’s out of control.

Another win for freedom to read legislation on the West Coast this week, as Oregon’s state House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 1098 on Monday, a bill that will protect access to books in school libraries. It’s great news: books can no longer be banned solely because they discuss sexuality, religion, or other topics, nor […]

So many delays, and so much money wasted on consultations for grand overly ambitious projects, rather than small spends on bollards, bus gates, etc, which would save lives and make active commutes far better.
70% of Edinburgh Council's active travel projects are delayed. Now the council is deciding which schemes to "pause" entirely. Join us outside the City Chambers this Thursday (May 22nd) at 08:30am to tell them that these delays cost lives!

The thread about the Corstorphine Convalescent Home; “To the Glory of God, for the Welfare of the Poor”
The old Corstorphine Hospital was in the news this week as, after a decade of lying empty and abandoned, it finally succumbed to the firebugs. Fortunately the Fire Brigade were quick to bring things under control, saving a sadly neglected and overlooked building that tended to the health and well-being of City for almost 150 years. This thread looks at how the "Home" came to be and how it evolved slowly over time into a specialist hospital for geriatric care
