Spanish Local Elections - The Aftermath with Simon Harris & David McGowran Round up of the recent Spanish local elections outcome

The outcome of the Spanish local elections has left a situation which from the outside is rather difficult to make sense of. There is however, a great deal of meaning here and from Barcelona and Madrid respectfully, Catalan writer Simon Harris and IndependenceLive.net presenter David McGowran will be giving you the view from the inside.

"Defy Tory Rule": Queen's Speech SSP Rally in Edinburgh The length and breadth of Scotland the Scottish Socialist Party is organising and coordinating a series of protests to simultaneously speak out against planned Conservative cuts to vital Health services and vital social security.

The length and breadth of Scotland the Scottish Socialist Party is organising and coordinating a series of protests to simultaneously speak out against planned Conservative cuts to vital Health services and vital social security. From Westminster, on Wednesday, the Queen's Speech will offer a taste of what is to come from the Conservative government. Much more will follow in terms of cuts. Right out across the country, on that same day, these rallies will offer back a taste of what is to come. Much more will follow in terms of speaking up for a progressive alternative. So join us at the Mound, down by Princes street at 5.30pm. We'll rally together, then be running a stall to circulate material calling out the Tories, and maybe even send folk to picket outside the Scottish Conservative central office. So get creative: bring your placards, bring your banners, bring yourselves.

Bouncers off Campus The University has hired private security guards – in their dozens and at a cost of tens of thousands – to block access to the occupation and to protect their investments in fossil fuels. Charles Stewart House, Chambers Street, Edinburgh

The University has hired private security guards – in their dozens and at a cost of tens of thousands – to block access to the occupation and to protect their investments in fossil fuels. Since the security have arrived, they’ve made serious threats to students and members of the occupation, and earlier today they slammed a student to the ground by their neck and strangled them. This guard has been charged with assault, but that’s not enough. No one is safe with these thugs on campus. The University need to get rid of them immediately. More than that, the University need to divest from fossil fuels and stop funding climate change and the destruction of our planet.

SWP - Where next for the left? With Charlie Kimber, SWP; Angela McCormick, TUSC candidate Glasgow North; and Glasgow Homeless Caseworker strikers

Just a week after the General Election revolt is in the air. Over 4000 demonstrated in Bristol. Nearly 400 came to Manchester's Peoples Assembly organising meeting. And major J20 demos are planned for Glasgow, London and Cardiff. As Labour goes into meltdown we have to build resistance to coming Tory welfare cuts and restrictions on unions' rights to organise. The election of 56 SNP MPs shows there is no mandate for Tory Rule in Scotland, or anywhere in the UK. The SNP government and SNP/ Labour councils should stop implementing Tory cuts now. Come along to our public meeting and discuss how we can build the strikes and protests and unite the left. With Charlie Kimber, SWP; Angela McCormick, TUSC candidate Glasgow North; and Glasgow Homeless Caseworker strikers

What now for a British Left? Post Referendum and a Tory win in the General Election, what now for a British Left?

Post Referendum and a Tory win in the General Election, what now for a British Left? We have seen a new and compelling left narrative led by the Scots and Welsh. Anti-austerity, against Trident and a thirst for an ‘all of us first politics’. Social Democracy has largely failed, but on the fringes of Europe we are seeing new left parties growing in confidence and support. The Scottish awakening has had many supporters and admirers in other parts of the UK. Ideas and organisation are not limited to Scotland, and are needed across these isles more than ever. What are our shared goals and how should we work together? How can we challenge the growing consensus for Tory politics? What are the next steps for any incarnation of the British left? In collaboration with the Radical Hope series taking place across England, Common Weal are delighted to be hosting a panel and discussion chaired by Common Weal Policy Director, Peter McColl, with: Neal Lawson, Chair of COMPASS Isobel Lindsay, Vice-Chair of Scottish CND Sarah Collins, Scottish Left Project and UNISON.

Ending Scottish Arms Trade with Israel International Conference "Ending Scottish Arms Trade with Israel" brings together a range of speakers to make the case that ending this commerce in death is both necessary and possible.

International Conference "Ending Scottish Arms Trade with Israel" brings together a range of speakers to make the case that ending this commerce in death is both necessary and possible. It will be an opportunity for participants to build a broad, dynamic campaign to end the sale of weapons to Israel that are used in the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Condemning the ‘deep inhumanity’ of Israel’s devastation of Gaza last summer, the Scottish Government added its voice to that of Amnesty International in calling for a suspension of arms deliveries to the State of Israel. It will take a determined civil society effort, however, to bring about such an embargo that can help to end the periodic massacres that have been the lot of the Palestinian people. Humanitarian support for the Palestinians under occupation, or symbolic gestures such as flying a Palestinian flag, can never be enough when Scotland supplies Israel with guidance systems for 500lb bombs that Israel drops on the most crowded place on earth, Gaza, killing thousands of people in that open air prison. The talks in the Renfield Centre’s main auditorium and workshops in adjoining rooms will be an opportunity for participants to develop a campaign to end Scottish factories providing Israel with the means to carry out crimes against the Palestinian people. The conference will take place in The Renfield Centre, 260 Bath Street, Glasgow G2 4JP

Thousands of trade unionists and supporters will march through Glasgow to celebrate the international workers day. Organised by Glasgow Trades Union Council this celebration looks to reach out to all those striving for justice peace and equality in our city.

At Glasgow O2 Academy on Bridge St there will be a range of speakers, stalls and a friendly welcoming environment where we can talk about our experiences of the past year and our hopes for the coming one. May Day is also a wider cultural celebration and will feature a diverse range of social and cultural events leading up to the May Day parade.

Hope Over Fear are organizing this 2015 event to coincide with the anniversary of the referendum and to make a clear statement that our journey to full Independence for our nation continues. Our First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has stated clearly that it will be the people of Scotland who will determine if and when there is an #indyref2. Lets fill Freedom Square and the surrounding streets of Glasgow on September 19th to make our voices heard. 2018 is an ideal year for #indyref2 as it is clear in terms of elections north and south of the border. (2016 Scottish parliament, 2017 Scottish council, 2019 English council and 2020 General election.) Join us on the Square with the message, #Indyref2 2018.

HOPE OVER FEAR: SEIZE THE DAY RALLY George Square, Glasgow. Lots of great speakers including Mark McGowan, The Artist Taxi Driver plus great music...

The Hope Over Fear campaign will not shirk its responsibilities. On May 7th 2015 we have a unique opportunity in Scotland to wipe out the blue, yellow and red Tories in one fell swoop. We can electorally punish those who lined up with the billionaires and millionaires to lie, deceive and bully our nation into submission. We are not too small, too poor or too scared to move forward into a new and better world and by uniting the pro-Scotland and anti-Establishment vote in May 2015 we can realise our dreams. Bring the family and enjoy another great day out while listening to the speakers from all political backgrounds and on the importance of using your vote wisely at the general election. There will also be many amazingly talented artists and musicians for you to enjoy on the day. In the words of Gerry Cinnamon's inspiring anthem of our movement, "Hope Over Fear, Carpe Diem". Let’s seize the day in 2015. NOTE: Mark McGowan, The Artist Taxi Driver will be one of the speakers :) FACEBOOK EVENT: https://www.facebook.com/events/401561463337441/

Red Road Flats Demolition RED ALERT DANGER DANGER Covering the controversial demolition of the Red Road Flats

ALSO here for protesters live stream within the danger zone http://livestre.am/5dlJI Highly contentious issue with many locals against the blowing up of these 6 flats at once and want them brought down floor by floor. The flats could still contain asbestos; they are very close to residential areas including a nursery and there is worry about water and gas pipes being burst. See WikiPedia link for more info and criticism of previous Red Row flats that have been blown up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Road_Flats

BBC Bias Peaceful Protest #2 Around 1:30 - 3:30pm BBC Bias Peaceful Protest #2 - The People's Voice!

BBC Bias Peaceful Protest #2 - The People's Voice! Sunday, June 29 at 1:30pm - 3:30pm BBC Scotland Studios, Pacific Quay G51 1 Glasgow, United Kingdom This is a protest against bias from the self-proclaimed “impartial” BBC. The most important issue we need to highlight is the repeated omission of relevant facts, information & answers that has kept Scotland in the dark about the real independence debate. The BBC’s coverage is ruining the run up to the biggest decision in our history. People are suitably sickened by the BBC & other mainstream media and their one sided conveyor belt of scare stories portrayed against our economic prospects, EU membership and the currency of an independent Scotland. Sometimes the bias is not in what they do cover but what they don't cover in their news & current affairs programmes. Specific examples of bias that concerns us are as follows: Make up of Question Time panels. Irish & Luxembourg EU ministers views misrepresented. UKIP promotion during EU elections. University of the West of Scotland report on bias on evening news programmes (BBC & STV) University of the West of Scotland report on bias on Radio Scotland Good Morning Scotland show The BBC's membership of the CBI which opposes independence and even tried to become an official member of the no campaign until a U turn after a mass cancellation of membership by Scottish companies. Different styles of questioning for Yes/No including more frequent interruptions from interviewers. The list goes on… Let's keep up the pressure on the old BBC and arrange their next outing as a massive anti-bias operation! Bring your saltires, banners, balloons, friends, family and loud voices. Make it a day to remember! Everyone is welcome from both sides of the debate. Groups that wish to protest about other instances of BBC bias unrelated to the independence debate are also more than welcome to attend.
