Hi, I'm Neil. I've invented a Death Machine™ which will most likely obliterate the planet and all of humanity. Now, on other matters would you like to buy some shares in Death Machine Inc? If we actually survive this age of total fucking stupidity, historians will laugh at us for millennia to come

I can’t tell you how much it distresses me that journalism like this gets so little attention in this county. If I write about some culture war nonsense, it’s gobbled up. But work like this which questions the very nature of our democracy - and is about life and death? It’s so often met with silence
Torture, terror and extrajudicial executions: the Dirty War in Northern Ireland and my search for truth For decades I’ve investigated collusion between British military intelligence and terrorists One question has always remained: given the crimes committed how can Britain call itself a democracy?

London does it, Manchester does it, Liverpool does it. Wales and the West Midlands are about to do it. So why is it only in Scotland that the media loses its mind over plans to bring buses into public control? Answer: because it’s an SNP policy and the Scottish media has lost all sense of balance

In Britain and the rest of Europe more people see America as a threat than China. No wonder. Under Trump, America has become our enemy. The US government now collaborates with Russia in the killing of Ukrainians. The UK’s only option is to return to the EU immediately In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

ICE flights have deported Somalis three times in as many weeks. It’s unprecedented.
I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

Want to know who killed the British high street? Look to the gangsters of American private equity. They’ve plundered British retail companies and asset stripped our country. Right now they’re ready to offload Morrisons, PizzaExpress, Waterstones and even Poundland In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Which bands or singers switched you on politically? For me it was Stiff Little Fingers, The Specials and the Dead Kennedys. In my long read, I explore protest music and why it seems to have almost died out in the 2020s with academic and music writer Gregor Gall. In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Live-streamed public executions by firing squad: how low can barbarian America go? America is lost. It’s so morally debased it can’t be saved. Only its collapse will lead to redemption. Until then, every civilised nation on Earth should turn its back on this pariah. In @heraldscotland.bsky.social
