Vet. De Baskische nationale ploeg speelde net voor 40.000 kijkers, in San Mamés, een interland tegen Venezuela. Athletic-speler Mikel Jauregizar maakte het enige doelpunt. Na afloop zong iedereen samen Txoria txori, een Baskisch verzetslied tegen Franco's dictatuur.
Txoria txori denak elkarrekin. Zelako momentu polita oparitu diguten! 🐦🫂

Paso por aquí para recordarle al mundo que Cuba se las arregla para vivir sin petróleo desde hace 11 meses, casi un año. Que prueben en Miami una semana sin gasolina, con más de 20 horas de apagón, sin agua, con servicios esenciales al límite; a ver cuánto les dura la valentía. En Cuba la gente lo aguanta todos los días y el mundo, muy tranquilo, mirando para otro lado.

HMRC have failed to collect £741bn in tax in the last 20yrs…..why? But a person with no arms and legs who can’t do anything for themselves is the problem. Fucking incredible.

"El fascismo es una etapa del capitalismo, el fascismo es simplemente el capitalismo en su forma más evidente, descarada y despiadada. En los países fascistas siempre rige el capitalismo, por eso la lucha contra el fascismo siempre es una lucha anticapitalista". Bertolt Brecht, "Cinco dificultades para el escritor de la verdad", 1934.

Only @BBCScotland could do an article on the 40% increase in the cost of food in an interview with the Retail Consortium and not mention the obscene profits of supermarkets 🤬

This is a disgrace. While the Labour Friends of Israel government did this, it is the Scottish Government that control Police Scotland. They could tell them to concentrate on actual criminals. And it is the Lord Advocate who decides to prosecute. A Swinney cabinet member.

The “invasion” myth has been put to rest by sensible historians. Two Gaelic communities developed on either side of Sruth Na Maoile long before 500AD related and linked by that superhighway🛶 …
This is how close the top of Ireland - the Inishowen peninsula where I grew up - is to Scotland. Ulster Scots terms are still current in my part of Donegal: a lock, meaning a quantity, a bism meaning a broom, a wain meaning a child, etc.

Esta era Magdalena Oksińska (21), asesinada por su hermano, el terrorista ultraderechista de Cracovia el pasado 7 de noviembre. Este era su arte, y creo que merece la pena compartirla.

Replying to @ScotNational
I lived in a British colony for over 12y. It had complete autonomy over immigration, currency, central bank/capital mkts,regulation, media, energy, taxation etc Scotl controls none of these areas. Scotl has no coded right to self determination. But apparently Scotl isn't a colony

The ruling class’s Remembrance Day act is nothing more than theatre. It hides a brutal reality, they’ll gladly send working-class people to their deaths while giving absolute zero fucks about the body count.

The Butcher of the Somme, a Scottish aristocrat who oversaw the death of a million souls to advance seven miles of French land, had the audacity to attend this event. He then set up the Haig Fund in his own name to promote remembrance of the people whose lives he took away. The rank hypocrisy of British imperialism should never be forgotten.
Unveiled on 31st May 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. 📷 Newsquest

6 months since the Scottish elections & the most meaningful "tactic deployed" by the SNP hierarchy for independence... is a survey! Will anything be different in another 6,12,18, 24 months etc? Look forward to more promises for next Scottish Election & one after that? 🙈🙄😁

Never really understand the meaning of bonfire night esp in Scotland. In England 90% of ppl either don't know or care wht it was originally abt: a plot to blow up the English parliament in 1605. BEFORE the Act of Union therefore a classic case of colonial cultural diffusion.
