As I prepare for my first week back for the new Scottish Parliament session, I am very alert to some of the challenges that some of our new MSPs will face. But we must all recognise the danger of normalising the politics of hate. I wrote this on Friday - fascism doesn’t arrive wearing jackboots!
Excerpt from Maggie’s blog post following her re-election:
I will continue to speak up for those who are marginalised, bullied and attacked by the powerful.
And over the next five years, that’s going to be more important than ever.
George Orwell once commented that when fascism comes to Britain it will not be in the form it took in Germany or Italy. It turns out that, when fascism comes to Scotland, it comes in the form of boring men boasting about how many houses, boats and cars they have hoarded.

Sums up the latest English local elections. What a disgrace , and retreat into hatred and division. 🤦‍♂️. At least the Welsh and Scottish still make sensible choices. Scene from Father Ted, a truly wonderful series.

Here’s the thing: Cuba has been making concessions. Opening parts of the economy, talking to US businesses, and even shifting policies that had been untouchable for decades. Did it matter? Nope. Washington basically said, “Not enough.” That tells you the goal isn’t reform. It’s full control.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.
