Yet again Glasgow City Council ignore what the people of Glasgow actually want.
🔔 BREAKING: Glasgow City Council's planning committee has approved the demolition of the Hillhead Baptist Church, despite hundreds of objections. Wemyss Property plans to replace the the B-listed 1883 building with a six-storey, 32-unit residential block.
Am at Bridge Street Books in Amble at 4.30 pm on Saturday 11th July, talking about Myra Hindley, my correspondence with Ian Brady, Satanist abuse and other dark topics, with maybe a wee mention of Mary Braveheart, my children's series!
War, the Money Tree, a new poetry competition by Dove Tales and six other organisations - Scottish Peace Network, Scottish PEN, Scottish CND, Federation of Writers, Campaign Against the Arms Trade and Autumn Voices. Full details on our website: dovetalesscotland.co.uk/events
Fascinating experience coming up from Dr Antje Bothin of Assertive Voices next week - a three day online course empowering women to set boundaries: eventbrite.co.uk/e/3-day-bounda…
It's Jim Aitken week in Dove Tales. Two hard-hitting poems on our blog plus a report about restoring education in Gaza. dovetalesscotland.co.uk/jim-aitken-on-…
Margaret Elphinstone's heartbreaking poem, Because they are not, is featured in this issue of the Scottish Left Review. Out now!
Am starting the New Year in a way I never thought I would, using AI for book covers. A couple of years I released Savage Stories, a collection of dramatic monologues, as a pamphlet. I've done a version for Amazon KDP so I could get it out on social media. bit.ly/49butUg
Mike Small sums it up in this powerful article. Wind energy is destroying the countryside for the benefit of multi-national companies. More highlights from the #PowerShift event: Mike Small’s overview of Scottish communities and the “renewables revolution” — THE ALTERNATIVE
A brilliantly considered article by Jim Aitken on the poetry of Mohammed Moussa culturematters.org.uk/poetry-soaked-…
Jean Rafferty retweeted
Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state. The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.
Jean Rafferty retweeted
Israel, as it stands, is a moral abomination..
Brand new issue of the Scottish Left Review. Delighted that Dove Tales has contributed, with great poems from Kriss Nichol and Ray Evans. scottishleftreview.scot
As ever, Jim Aitken gets right to the heart of the matter. The Masses on the Move – Culture Matters
