The BBC film on Tommy Sheridan case


There are two days remaining on bbc iplayer to view the bbc programme about the rise and fall of Tommy Sheridan here is a link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xp4ps

Many questions remain unanswered. For example the George McNeilage, tape that was to provide vital evidence against Tommy, was it a fake? It is likely it was and earned McNeilage two hundred grand from the News Of The World.

Also why did the SSP meeting in which Tommy was believed to admit to his mistakes, was recorded in writing? Everything should have been done off the record.

Instead factions like the United Left in the Scottish Socialist Party became known as "Tommy Haters."

I hope those who have spoken to the media, or colluded with the NOTW enjoy their pieces of silver, Aye Right! the former comrades who testified against Tommy deserve to be held to account. They are a disgrace to the campaign for a Socialist Republic.

The future of Scottish Socialism may be seen in doubt, but instead those of us Scottish Republicans who believe firstly we must secure Scottish Independence, represent the best hope for a Workers Republic in future times.

Egos and jealously that have surrounded the actions of former comrades in the SSP will be their ultimate undoing.

The Sheridans up against the Establishment


The perjury trial of former Scottish Socialist Party leader Tommy Sheridan and his wife Gail is due to start today. Sheridans to face perjury trial report by the BBC.

As a Republican Socialist I can see no other way but to show my support here for the Sheridans. Best wishes can be left by clicking here. Tommy was a great MSP and fighter against the Poll Tax during the Thatcher years. A good article about the fight against Murdoch is on the online edition of Socialist Worker. Messages of support for Tommy & Gail Sheridan can also be left by visiting the Solidarity website.

This weblog will await the trial with interest as Tommy and Gail find themselves up against the Establishment.
