I had planned to go into the centre of Glasgow last weekend to do some shopping, but decided against it because listening to people singing that they would like to be up to their knees in blood, and specifically your blood, isn’t exactly conducive to a pleasant retail experience. This isn’t made any easier by the knowledge that the DUP and other extreme Ulster Loyalist organisations supported by the Orange Order are also … Continue reading End the annual shame of Orange Order marches in Scotland

They are trying to redirect social justice movements like Black Lives Matter to support their own ends. And when journalists uncover these questionable practices and attempt to inform the … Continue reading THE DOCUMENTARY ISRAEL DOESN’T WANT YOU TO SEE
