Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto franchise has generated over $10.22 billion in revenue since 2013.  They have not paid UK corporation tax in many recent years, claiming millions in tax credits instead. What the staff are asking for is the right to have a recognised trade union. #Solidarity

Sex worker-led organizations and human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, argue that the Nordic model (which criminalizes the purchase of sex but not the sale) makes sex work more dangerous. Saying no to Ash Regan's Nordic Model Bill.

Video from the Edinburgh protest.

Leonardo are the 13th largest manufacturer of weapons and weapon parts in the world, and they have a factory in Edinburgh funded by the Scottish Government. #stopfundingisrael

It is a matter of public record that the Scottish Government, via Scottish Enterprise, has given the Leonardo arms firm over £1m in grants. They are funding a firm that makes the laser targeting system for the F35. Without this system the F35 aircraft being used to bomb Gaza would be inoperable.

Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar Games has been accused by a trade union of sacking staff in the UK to stop them from unionising. The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain, which represents people working in the gaming sector, said 31 workers were fired from Rockstar's UK studios on 30 October.

Don't try to make a misogynist into a martyr. 40% of the far right men arrested during the 2024 riots had been reported to the police for domestic abuse. Violent misogynists on the streets claiming to "protect women and children", while blaming racialised communities, migrants and trans people.
