Unveiled on this day in 1924 by Earl Haig, the Glasgow Cenotaph. Erected in remembrance of the soldiers who died during the First World War, it was designed by Sir JJ Burnet in 1922 and is flanked by sculptures of lions by Ernest Gillick.

Orbán is out, but the think tanks, funding and relationships built under his government won’t just disappear overnight.

So we’re making that investigation free to read
How an Orban backed populist think tank is stoking Scotland’s culture war
Viktor Orbán lost in the most recent elections. But how has he helped fund the academics and think tanks influencing Scotland's populist right?

John Carroll says his nighttime rounds are protecting the community. Critics say his “abhorrent” views on Hitler, the Holocaust and race are incompatible with his adopted role.

Noticeable driving around 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this week is how many far right American nutcases (mostly unknown in the US itself) are invited on to UK media to be apologists for their beloved yellow haired make up smeared man child.
Most wouldn’t even get on US 📺 they’re so extreme but met with little pushback.

If you don’t want politicians re-writing history for political gain please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call out this absolute rubbish with the actual facts. If UK news shows are not up to the job let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.

We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

When are UK News Shows going to start calling out Nigel Farage and his completely rubbished claims?

Four years ago the Red Cross placed a refugee with us for emergency housing. He was a young Vietnamese man with nowhere to go, no shelter and no English.
We had other people stay after him but he was lovely, would not take money and looked despairing and exhausted. One week end, a multicultural 1/4

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
