Wherever and whenever racism exists, our trade union movement must be ready to act & mobilise against the forces of racism & far right extremism. We will not let them win.

The thugs who gathered in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are con artists; pretending to care about people subjected to violence by being violent themselves. And where are they when white men attack, assault or kill women or immigrants? Absent. Scotland needs immigrants; not these clowns.

5 hours left to vote in the Scottish Parliament election! Are you on your way back from work? Nip to the polling station before you get too comfy at home! Also, if you have a postal vote and you haven't returned it, never fear: you can hand it in at your local polling place!

There is a need for both individual and corporate responsibility for the sustained psychological abuse of women online. We must reform our corporate criminal liability laws, including corporate manslaughter regulations.
