Tuesday, 28 July 2009. Thousands march for Johnnie Walker jobs. By Richie Venton - 27th July 2009. They poured into Howard Park, Kilmarnock, in their thousands on Sunday, despite the monsoon rain and lashing wind that poured down on Ayrshire for hours before. 20,000 of them according to most press reports. The entire Kilmarnock FC team and manager Jim Jeffries marched with trade unionists, their families, whole communities, with Johnnie Walker workers present and past to the fore. Diageo bosses took a pa...

Tuesday, 30 June 2009. Medieval robber-baron, Steven Purcell cuts off water supply to Wyndford School! This is the limit! Glasgow City Council have cut off the water supply to the school where parents are staging a sit-in, while they await a judicial review on the decision to close the Glasgow schools.

SAFE SPACE: Exploitation and the Extension of Men-Only Space
http://safespaceblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/exploitation-and-extension-of-men-only.html
Wednesday, 8 July 2009. Exploitation and the Extension of Men-Only Space. See this excellent article on lap dancing from Rachel Cooke in the Observer. She absolutely nails the nature of the exploitation and how these clubs created men-only space in our towns and cities, as if there wasn't enough of that already. SHOULD LAP DANCING BE RUN OUT OF TOWN? Sunday 8 March 2009. Did any of the women enjoy the work? Yes For me, it was for Dutch courage.". That it is merely part of the entertainment industry?

SAFE SPACE: NEW LABOUR MEDIA ATTACK GLASGOW SCHOOL CAMPAIGNERS
http://safespaceblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-labour-media-attack-glasgow-school.html
Saturday, 11 April 2009. NEW LABOUR MEDIA ATTACK GLASGOW SCHOOL CAMPAIGNERS. Below is some of the most breathtakingly sick media coverage I have seen in a long time. It seeks to stigmatise the ordinary people working hard in the campaign to keep Glasgow schools open, by making them out to be dupes who are being used by drug dealers. And to not so subtly brand and stigmatise the campaigners by associating them and their communities with the scourge of drugs. The Save our Schools campaigners might want to ...

I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. - Humphrey Bogart in "The Big Sleep". Saturday, 9 August 2014. Scottish Independence Referendum and the Currency Debate. We keep the pound in a currency union with the remainder of the UK. The benefits of this in terms of transaction costs have been explored at some length but I have been asked to try to explain what transaction costs are. All of this is made clear in the S...

I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. - Humphrey Bogart in "The Big Sleep". Friday, 11 October 2013. Any good neo-liberal economist will tell you that the value of anything is simply what someone else is prepared to pay for it. This was our Royal Mail and come independence it will be again. I only hope that our government, once we grasp the thistle, has the balls to take our share of it back into public own...

I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. - Humphrey Bogart in "The Big Sleep". Saturday, 15 February 2014. Scottish Independence. A Guide for My Friends Down South. Hi John, enjoyed reading this and your passion certainly shines through. I do feel though that you make some sweeping generalisations. I was born in England but have never felt imbued with a sense of state and empire (non-existent anyway! In just the s...

Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Tories Discover Where That Is. It's nice that the Tories in Westminster seem to have discovered that you can travel north of Carlisle without falling off the end of the world, and that Big Dave Cameron has offered his services.

I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. - Humphrey Bogart in "The Big Sleep". Wednesday, 10 July 2013. Wimbledon and the Other Class. The Scottish socialist Party is the only Scottish party that can unleash the power and potential buried in the housing schemes of our country. The major parties and other elites are terrified that we realise what we have. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Contact Me by E-mail.
