Hope springs from the left

Sunday is really important if we finally stand up to global laissez faire deregulated capitalism. I remain hopeful

Been so long.....not surprisingly almost all my energy was dedicated to the Scottish referendum for the last 2 years.... was really disappointed to lose but tis only a battle and the war goes on. Apart from that life is good and I hope to achieve the next step towards my own goals this year (and that involves more than getting 45+ YES supporters into Westmonster. Happy New Year. Oh and although I am still a mad Celtic supporter, I am having an affair with these lads and think I am falling in love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKpJarMYxE8

The MAN of the DAY.

Wow so many Americans will get affordable healthcare after all, and the GOP / Tea Party will not be able to threaten bankruptcy to get it's own greedy way. This is the first sign of any victory over religious zealots, right wing supremacists and racist xenophobes since May 22nd 1998 when the people all over the island of Ireland voted to end the religious, political and financial dominance of Ulster unionists. I really hope this is a turning point, that people are beginning to accept that they have been fooled, hoodwinked and exploited by religious, financial and political elites under the umbrella of free market capitalism and democracy. That they are beginning to question being sheeple anymore and stand up for the basic civil rights of affordable healthcare, affordable housing, fair employment and decent conditions. I hope the people of Scotland will begin to realise that the only way to achieve this is self determination and will no longer roll over to serve the needs of the Tory elites. The tide is beginning to turn, the classism and massive increase in social inequality that has dominated society will only be stopped if people stand up and fight. 'the great only appear great because we are on our knees, Let us arise' Go on Obama ya good thing.

This is a "dirty look"?????

Some people really need to practice thier "dirty looks" this is diabolical!

Updates on my new life!

Took a wee while (ok 2 years is quite a while) but Miki has convinced me to start blogging again. Main thing is that I'm a happy boy in most areas of life. 1. Relationship(s) are brilliant most days, interspersed with the odd dodgy period... which means that my relationships are real. 2. Professionally I'm working for Shelter Scotland and hey I love it (most of the time). Working for a charity, a housing charity (rem my property rants of 5/6 years ago) and a left wing org that suits my values and political beliefs (we'll keep the red flag flying) means that I kinda have the perfect job... it pays shite... but then i knew that before I jumped in. 3. Community. actually starting to build a wee community too... making friends of different persuasions, getting recognised on the street...getting recognised in the local, being able to have decent chats with people locally is all good.... I am living my life in a place that I have NO intention of moving from for a long long time... bit like when I moved to Sligo. OK ... will stop now... am using a shite laptop cos my mac is in the bedroom and it makes noise and some people value their sleep far too much... so no visuals or weird videos this morning....

December 1st is a BIG day

White rabbits, it's December 1st, can't go into it now but it's a big day for me on several fronts.

I wish myself the best over the next 24 hours and hope a lot of good comes out of it.
