Oppose the Nazi White Pride March in Edinburgh - Nae Nazis!

12.30pm Sat 25 Mar 2017
Unite Against Fascism call on people to stand with them to oppose National front / White Pride

976Oppose the Nazi White Pride March in Edinburgh - Nae Nazis! Unite Against Fascism call on people to stand with them to oppose National front / White Pride

It is with disgust that we announce that the poisonous, travelling nazi rump called the National Front intend to come to Edinburgh city centre on the 25th of March to hold a â€˜White Pride Marchâ€™. The National Front are a pale shadow of that they were in the 1970s, when they achieved 100,000s of votes in elections and represented a real threat to black, Asian and other minorities on the streets. Because of constant and united work by the Anti-Nazi League, UAF and other anti-fascists over the last few decades, this tiny rump of fascists do not represent the threat that they once did. However, emboldened by election events in Austria, by nazi Le Penâ€™s polling in France, by Islamophobic Geert Wildersâ€™ polling in the Netherlands and by the influence of white nationalists in Donald Trumpâ€™s team these fascists feel confident they can come to the streets of our multicultural city. These fascists look across parts of Europe and want to emulate fascist Jobbik in Hungary or Golden Dawn in Greece. Edinburgh has a fine tradition of stopping racists and Nazis. Should the nazi National Front decided to step foot in Edinburgh, we call upon all anti-racists and anti-fascists to take part in the broadest united mobilisation. UAF Scotland has a long history of countering and ensuring that fascists do not get a toe-hold in our communities. Only recently, anti-fascists ensured that the nazi Blood and Honour gig was cancelled in Scotland due to mass opposition. We wonâ€™t stand for their racism, their Islamophobia, their scapegoating of migrants and refugees. We will push them back like we did with the SDL, the EDL and the BNP. Please share this event with your friends, family, work mates. Assemble 12.45pm, Waverley Train Station (Market St entrance)

More than Brexit - the progressive case for independence

10.00am Sat 11 Mar 2017

186More than Brexit - the progressive case for independence

The latest Scottish Socialist Voice Forum will discuss "More than Brexit: The Progressive Case for Independence". The Scottish independence movement is at a cross-roads. There is an urgent need to discuss how a campaign around a progressive pro-independence movement can be constructed, and what its key demands should be. The coming campaign for independence will not be won on the basis of Brexit alone. Our meeting will hear from four speakers: Councillor Mary Lockhart (personal capacity, pro-Yes Labour councillor in Fife) Gordon Martin (Scottish organiser of the RMT union) Ben Wray (policy director at the Common Weal think-tank) Colin Fox (Scottish Socialist Party national co-pokesperson) Their contributions will be followed by an open discussion with our audience on the question of how we re-build a progressive pro-independence movement in this country.

People Sized Government: Lessons from Norway

A Nordic Horizons event, live from the Scottish Parliament with Frode Lindtvedt

176People Sized Government: Lessons from Norway A Nordic Horizons event, live from the Scottish Parliament with Frode Lindtvedt

Scotland has the largest councils in Europe, serving on average 170,000 people. The European average is 14,000. It's thought that the remoteness of Scottish 'local' government contributes to our low turnout rates â€“ 38% at the last council elections. Now the Convention Of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) and the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) have both called for large councils to be broken up. Can Scotland afford more genuinely local democracy? How would councils in economically deprived areas manage if they relied on their own localities for income? Would it break the bank to pay more councilors Â£16,000 each a year? How do other countries do it? Norway and Scotland have similar sizes of population. But Scotland has only 32 councils while Norway has 429. Norwegians have just rejected proposals to merge councils to save money. Why? And how can they make powerful town council, people-sized, government work without duplication of work or corruption? Frode Lindtvedt is the Director of Local Democracy, International Politics and External Affairs at the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities / Kommunenes Sentralforbund (KS), the Norwegian equivalent of COSLA.
