Libya will stop black people coming to Europe… for a price.
You may have noticed that the leader of Libya, Colonel Gaddafi, has been on a state visit to Italy over the past few days, where he has been generally making a nuisance of himself by trying to convert Italian women to Islam, and attempting to charge the EU five billion euros in exchange for preventing [...]

Anti-fascist strategies tested in Bradford
We’ve previously covered the run-up to last weekend’s English Defence League march in Bradford. Despite a successful campaign to have the government ban the march, it was always clear that the EDL would come anyway. The “official” anti-fascist movement made no plans to take direct action to try and stop the EDL from being able [...]

Scottish councils impose 3 years of pay cuts
The placards, headlines and banners have been screaming about cuts, austerity measures and swingeing job cuts for what seems like ages now. We’ve all known that there’s a pending apocalypse coming our way – insert comparison about it being the worst attack on the working class since Thatcher/WWII/THE BEGINNING OF TIME here – for ages, [...]

Spot the difference
Glenn Beck is someone we’ve written about here before. For those that haven’t been lucky enough to check him out on youtube, he is one of the most prominent figures of the American right media, with 3 hours of radio and 1 hour of telly EVERY DAY to push his extreme agenda on to the [...]

The Socialist Alternative
Dangerous Minds is a blog I have a lot of time for, which generally features stuff about music, funny videos, and general not-that-political fun. They do have a political agenda though, particularly chiming with SSY’s views about drug prohibition. Each week they do an interview with an interesting person, usually someone who has a new [...]

Fuck you, American Apparel.
American Apparel was founded in 1989 as a wholesale tshirt supplier. They opened their first retail store in 2003, and started selling to the public. It was instantly a huge success. Melanie Rickey, fashion editor of Grazia magazine, said “”It became very big, very quickly. Everybody was wearing it, and I mean everyone: high-fashion kids, [...]

HYSTERICAL MEDIA GO ON MISINFORMED RAMPAGE
DOZENS of misinformed media outlets yesterday went on a hysterical rampage – going head-to-head with FACTS and SCIENCE – and causing chaos across the country as they poured an oily slick of lies across the nation’s front pages. At the same time, hundreds of idiots wreaked havoc across the internet, using websites as diverse as [...]

The Mighty Mighty Climate Camp
I’ve just returned from 5 days of occupying the land of the Royal Bank of Scotland, a piece of direct action that yesterday successfully achieved its objective of shutting down RBS’ headquarters. On Monday when we looked across at the building we could see there was nobody working there apart from cops and security guards. [...]

We smashed the banks – no, really, we did.
Some of SSY’s roving reporters are back to civilisation to give YOU all the latest news from climate camp… After an epic amount of pushing, we stormed RBS headquarters this afternoon. Delicious molasses bombs were thrown, windows were smashed and there was a lot of scuffling with the police. Bear in mind that today was [...]

Climate camp is going down: get there!
A few of us SSYers are about to head over to head over to Edinburgh to take part in the camp for climate action. If you’re reading this and can make it, get there! The camp took their site last night, at Gogar Station Road, right next to the Royal Bank of Scotland global headquarters! [...]
