'Nae Pasaran' and Scotland's Ghost Ferries

I suspect this Sunday Post story is correct because engines lying unused for years seize up and become useless, as the Rolls Royce workers in East Kilbride knew only too well when they refused to repair General Pinochet's war planes!

 

Nae Pasaran! (November 09, 2018)


Don't just take my word for it - here's what another satisfied cinema goer had to say about the movie 'Nae Pasaran', an everyday tale of ordinary people taking a stand and changing the course of history.

Just back from seeing Nae Pasaran - it was brilliant makes you feel so proud but was very emotional as well - well worth going to see guys x

Nae Pasaran! (06/11/18)



Lots of readers have been in touch to say that they are going along to the Glasgow Film Theatre to see 'Nae Pasaran!'

I hope the film lives up to the billing I've given it, but let me know what you think yourselves.

Because the people involved in the fight for equal pay in Glasgow - and the recent strike in the city - have every reason to be proud of the stand that they've made.

Because just like the Rolls Royce workers ordinary people sometimes make history by doing the right and decent thing.  

   

Nae Pasaran! (05/11/18)


I was at the Glasgow Film Theatre last night to see 'Nae Pasaran', a hugely enjoyable and uplifting film that tells the story of the workers and union members at the Rolls Royce plant in East Kilbride who refused to work on aircraft engines which had been sent for repair to Scotland by General Pinochet's brutal fascist regime in Chile.

Go and see the movie for yourself - it will put a real spring in your step and make you proud.

Especially those of you who have been involved in the historic events surrounding the long fight for equal pay in Glasgow City Council.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride. H/T @LGBNOW pic.twitter.com/HL87yIXXHg — Fred Sargeant (@FredSargeant) August 2, 2023 No doubt about it - the once proud campaign in support of lesbian and gay rights has been hijacked by intolerant trans zealots!

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
