Glasgow stood by Mandela while the world called him a terrorist. We should do the same for the Palestinians, whom of Mandela said there was no freedom achieved without the injustices visited upon them by Israel brought to an end.
I’m a unionist but maybe Scotland should leave the UK. That or get kicked out.
I do think there’s something inherently a bit off about government bodies flying flags that are essentially around campaigns and beliefs.
I’d happily fly a Ukrainian flag from my house, but I’m not sure governments should be doing this – and walking down Whitehall, there’s tonnes of them.
In something as politically charged at Israel/Palestine, well, I wouldn’t.
Is this an April Fool? We’re in Palestine now?

Could someone explain me, how could one hate far-right white dudes for violating of women rights and at the same time support a nation, which entire culture is based on oppressing women?
‘A list of actions has been agreed by city councillors to “show solidarity with all of the victims, their families and communities of the on-going siege of Gaza and related violence.”
Except the 1,000 Israeli who were killed by Hamas of course
Could I get my potholes fixed and my dad’s cancer treatment sped up while you lot are fucking about with your flags?
Less governance more
