IWGB@iwgbunion.bsky.social · 2d agoRockstar workers in @gameworkers.co.uk are determined to push union recognition over the line by whatever means necessary, so we can continue making progress on our key aims: an end to ‘crunch’, pay transparency, flexible working, and commitments to no AI or layoffs. 1/5

its so crazy what absolute literary dogshit you get away with when you are politically dogshit too
The Author, Séamas O'Reilly@seamas.bsky.social · 3d agoHaters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.
Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.
“He spoke truth to power” say the powerful, lining up to praise their favourite court jester as a brave and bold challenge to the establishment, despite him never having done a thing to threaten or unsettle said establishment. Just a grubby mirror they enjoyed seeing their worst reflections in.

The battle of the Rockstar 31 is the battle of every worker in the 21st century fighting for better conditions in the workplace. We really need you to donate to be in with a chance with this David and Golaith legal battle.
IWGB@iwgbunion.bsky.social · last wk.Will + the rest of the Rockstar 31 need YOU to win justice for all the needless pain and upheaval from these dismissals. To beat Rockstar at the historic court case in September we asking supporters of the @gameworkers.co.uk to donate to our legal fundraiser. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...
Of course, taking Rockstar to court for sacking 31 workers without warning is about the human cost outlined by my comrade Will right here but we are also fighting for the right to organise at work! We need your money to do this David and Goliath battle!!!!! actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

IWGB@iwgbunion.bsky.social · last wk.Listen to fired Rockstar worker Will Masilane detail how losing his job meant losing the life he had built in Edinburgh, with his girlfriend and his beloved dogs Abby and Lonnie The four of them had made the move to the Scottish capital from Australia two and half years prior.
mark my words andy burnham's crash out will include the anger of English local authorities in areas more neglected than Manchester (of which they are loads)
Tyron@tyron.bsky.social · 3w agoGenuinely a bit offensive as a summary
I've recently become obsessed with TalkSport and all their DJs who just seem to crash out for a living? I would like to have this job....
not to harp on about it but the opening verse of 'No Scotland, No Party' by Nick Morgan has a Taylor Swift-like ability to transport you a real-life moment (your dad telling you about scotland actually winning at the dinner table when you were a child)
english friends i love you and wish you health and prosperity but my first love is being a horrible little sports toad
Being 'Anyone But England' at the World Cup is integral to who I am for a number of reasons, but it's quite challenging to be so strident when some of your England fans' contemporaries are very gracious about Scotland.... (its their father's bigotries)

Cancellation of settlement and citizenship is a fundamental break in the contract between migrants and the state, with the state treating migrants as undeserving of basic legal rights. It codifies a two-tier system of deserving and undeserving human beings based solely on where you were born
David Higham@oldtrotter.bsky.social · 3w agoThe Spectator going full on ethnonationalist
Fair play, very funny thing to say in defence of a party whose primary campaigning strategy is to wait for a horrific tragedy to befall a town, community or even individual family, and then roll up and go, "We sure hope nobody burns down a mosque over this—though we'd sure understand if they did!"
I'm deeply concerned by parents carting their kids about London in these charming Dutch bikes on busy roads! Is it not incredibly dangerous to just open your precious cargo (small children) vulnerable to the elements (cars) like this? You need the bike lanes the Netherlands has as standard!
