Far-right protests in Aberdeen are escalating, targeting asylum seekers with abuse & threats. This is causing fear, disruption & possible criminal offences. Police must act with the same urgency shown elsewhere. Freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequence.

For three weeks in Aberdeen, far-right groups have targeted people seeking asylum. This is escalating from nightly abuse to physical and death threats. A disabled man was racially abused and another ambushed. People are targeted going to the mosque.

The legal aid crisis means 'equality of arms' in Scotland's JP courts is a myth. Like pitting plate armour against a potato peeler. If solicitors can't afford to be there, why not permit lay representatives in criminal proceedings? Urgent reform is needed. #AccessToJustice #LawScot

It pains me to witness the collapse of the rule-based post-war order. The ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine and now Kashmir reflect a disintegrating international system that, despite its imperfections, represented a significant civilisational advancement.

May all Catholics take the banners of social justice, equality and ecology.
All that remains is hope. Gracias Papa Francisco.

The human face of all those bullshit, blue tick Twitter accounts full of racism, lies, cowardice & cruelty…
Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene literally telling a British reporter to "go back to your country" and berating her for trying to ask a question.

Barriers to a legal aid career are high. The DPLP—our so-called “gateway”—costs about £10,200, yet SAAS offers only £7K for tuition and £4.5K for living. With annual living costs of £12–15K (£17.5K in Glasgow), it's really more of a golden gate for those that can afford it.
