Hear the MSPs they tried to ban
Four SSP MSPs have been banned from the Scottish parliament for the month of September. Their entire month’s wages have been docked - all of them live on a skilled worker’s wage - all have young families.
The month’s wages of their backup staff have been docked - even though they were not even part of the protest!
The public will be denied access to these MSPs in parliament in September - whether by phone, by post or by email.
The MSPs’ crime? A brief, peaceful, silent protest in the parliament on 30 June, demanding that Jack McConnell uphold its own previous decision (last March) to defend the right to march against the G8 summit in Gleneagles on 6 July.
Three quarters of people in Britain believe there is a link between the illegal occupation of Iraq and the terrorist attacks on London.
Break the spiral of death - Bring the Troops home from Iraq! Jean Charles de Menezez was executed Police. Oppose shoot to kill!
Low paid workers for Gate Gourmet have been denied the right to organise in their workplace. Fight to repeal the anti-trade union laws! Racist attacks on our minority communities have increased. Oppose racism - defend our communities.
