I am a woman who worked, lived & played in Glasgow city centre for 27 years. I walk & cycle daily in the city centre . This article is spot on, I'm sick of being told how scary, lawless Glasgow is and it simply not true, its a racist line. Our city is complex, always has been.
The main public advocates pushing for proscribing the IRGC have been the **Board of Deputies of British Jews** and the **Jewish Leadership Council**. They’ve campaigned for years, met ministers (including the Foreign Secretary), and repeatedly called for it citing IRGC-linked threats, assassinations plots, and intimidation on UK soil.
Think tanks like the **Henry Jackson Society** published detailed reports making the case. There was also consistent pressure from some Conservative MPs and Iranian opposition voices.
The government’s move today uses new National Security (State Threats) powers rather than classic Terrorism Act proscription.
Hello @ElonMusk you were once going save the world and abolish poverty, instead you have insured the deaths of 100s of thousands. And for what? Your own greed and hubris. You had such potential. Squandered. You are not Iron Man, that’s for sure. You are not a hero. You are kind of a monster.
“The seven-hundred-plus thousand that have been estimated to have died at the end of a year since the U.S.A.I.D. closure comes from a couple of different sources. One is a Boston University estimate. A separate one comes from an international study published in The Lancet, looking at the impact U.S.A.I.D. had over the past twenty years—saving ninety-two million lives—and projecting, based on the cuts that have occurred, how many deaths have occurred, and they came up with a very similar number.”

Meet Gemma Mattinson, one of the organisers of the "Pink Ladies." She claims she wants to protect women and girls.
In 2011, she and her then boyfriend, Ian Barclay, were jailed for child cruelty after being filmed forcing two children, both under the age of 8, to physically fight each other while they laughed.
A young girl was ordered to hit a boy with a broom and plastic sticks. When the boy tried to hide, he was dragged across the floor and slammed into a radiator.
They both pled guilty.
She was sentenced to 8 months in prison, and her ex received a 12-month sentence.
Now, she has rebranded herself and is targeting asylum seekers staying in hotels.
@ZooNealand He wasn't a politician, he was an actor 1st and foremost. He was also a human being who cared about others. Don't use him to score political points. Politicians are CLINTS!

More than 2,500 healthcare workers have signed a petition demanding the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Gaza medics held in Israeli detention camps.
The petition was submitted to the Royal College of Physicians, alongside protests calling for urgent action and support for detained Palestinian healthcare workers.
Sick of the bullshit about these racist demos in Glasgow being “concerned locals.”
Liverpool Nazi Ryan Ferguson on the front lines in Castlemilk and Cranhill. Yesterday in Springburn, Alex Cairnie addressing the crowd, with Scotland’s far-right organisers in attendance:
More People need to open their eyes and see this.

We have no part in the State of Israel.
We will continue to oppose Zionism in the name of our faith."

Well done to @ZackPolanski for making it clear we should be tracking British citizens who have served in the IDF & engaged in genocide. He also rightly calls out the double standards when it comes to condemning Russian war crimes but not Israeli war crimes.
This generation gives me hope…

University of Edinburgh's graduates walk out of their ceremony, mid-proceedings to condemn the institution's £50.3 million in direct and indirect investments in companies facilitating Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
Isn’t it strange that Iran didn’t hit a single hospital or school, not even by mistake, while Israel and the United States, despite claiming to have the world’s most precise weapons, have repeatedly attacked civilian infrastructure? 🤔
Will we get an apology from all those pro-Israel people who screamed on this hellsite throughout 2024 ‘why won’t they just release the hostages?’ as an attempted justification for every Israeli war crime?
