Can you imagine the press reaction if Palestine Action were forcing Ambulance Stations to close? Or the Socialist Workers Party were shutting Fire Stations? No, of course not, cos it wouldn't fucking happen. These people are terrorists and should be treated as such. Ban, arrest, imprison.

Of interest to at least one of you – I'm looking at you @dustysevens.bsky.social – there's a companion piece to @grantmcphee.bsky.social's excellent Big Gold Dream doc up on Amazon, the self-explanatory The Glasgow School A Postcard Records Oral History. Plays like a DVD extra, one for the heads
