What does a community do when it can no longer bear to see its members "legally" murdered?

We all have our problems in life, right? When you have an issue in your life, and we all have them from time to time, at the very least, that’s just life, right? An example of what I’m talking about might be, let’s say, your neighbour upstairs plays loud music all hours of the day or night when they’re off work. You’ve been and spoken with them and they just laughed at you each time. What do you do? You take it up with your landlord, the building supervisor or maybe if it has gotten to an extreme point, the police. At least you’ve got some options, right? Another example perhaps could be, you are being harassed by a guy, shouting names at you, embarrassing you as you go to work, come home from work, take your children to school or the park. Perhaps this time you don’t confront them for a lot of “common sense” reasons. So, perhaps this time you go to take advice from a lawyer or maybe go to the police. Well, at least there’s a choice of who to turn to. What about if every time you go ou...

Bravo to Canada on banning assault rifles but...

​ https://preview.redd.it/slab9xmw4ew41.png?width=971&format=png&auto=webp&s=1040b9bd410fced420dc96a8ae1d83496beb793a https://youtu.be/cJ88x7cNXwo Hi all, ​ The death of 22 people at the hands of one person seems to be impossible. Except, of course, if you have a semi-automatic rifle that can be capable of firing 600 rounds per minute. Then it could only take 3 seconds to mow down 22 people. ​ I will not give the individual responsible for this barbaric action any coverage here by naming them or describing their actions. The only people that should be spoken of are the people that lost their lives, their families and the wider society that will be traumatised by a loss of life so egregious that even during a time of pandemic it is still startling, stunning and horrifying. ​ However, there is something that has instantly come from this tragedy which I need to mention. ​ The reaction of the Canadian government to this situation is the right one. If you can clearl...

The Left Wing Information Project is Open for Business

Hi there, Have you ever been trying to find some information about Left Wing politics that you just couldn't find? ​ Found yourself with a ton of disparate links that have bits and pieces of what you want but not quite what you need? ​ Been trying to get a picture of what group is what school or discipline of left-wing politics but not able to piece it together? ​ Yeah? Me too! ​ This project is an attempt to provide a central repository for the left online no matter the 'school' or 'discipline'. This subreddit is not the actual repository but a way to build a team that can work together to ultimately design, develop, deliver and maintain the 'library' itself. ​ I appreciate that this is a big undertaking. So, it is not something that I could do alone, nor would I want to. Any good central source of information usually comes from a dedicated team that all have something unique to offer whilst working towards a common goal but over quite a period ...

Party Political Puffin's Podcast is up an running!

It has been difficult to realise the original vision of what the channel would look like. Originally, the thought was that a 'Daily News' article would go up on YouTube every day, giving an overview of the days news. The channel would also provide a weekly 'Opinion' piece at the weekend. The 'enthusiastic' view of being able to get this done was just that, enthusiastic, but it wasn't realistic. With the channel just starting and having to be organised, the fact that I am just one person, for the moment and all the technicalities of getting pieces up, there just wasn't the time to do all of this. As those of you that have see the YouTube videos will be aware, they go quite in depth in an attempt to cater for those of us that do not spend every waking minute reading, listening to or watching some sort of news content. I wanted to make sure that if people didn't quite get some of the nuance or terminology or background to a piece then they woul...

Lockerbie bomber conviction 'may have been miscarriage of justice' - This is not new news!

On 21 December 1998, Pan Am flight 103 was on its way from London to New York when it exploded over Lockerbie , Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This killed 243 passengers and 16 crew and also led to the deaths of a further 1 1 people from the town of Lockerbie as the falling debris rained down. The total number of those killed in one of the UK's worst terrorist attack came to 270 . The wreckage of Pan Am 103 on a field in Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988.

The question is, did these two men commit this horrendous crime?
