A contractor has now set up to start the demolition of St Fitticks Park. All for a so-called "Energy Transition Zone" that is nothing but a cover for an oil billionaire to expand his fossil investments. (1/5)

On Thursday, Aberdeen City Council yet again ignored the people of Torry to side with the "Energy Transition Zone" and cleared the way for the burn of St Fittick's Park to be destroyed.
The council voted through the first two planning applications completely unopposed despite Friends of St Fittick's Park giving them a lot of material conditions why they can reject the destruction of the park. (2/4)

I spotted this plaque on a wall near the High Street end of Duke Street yesterday. It seems the East End of Glasgow is fighting back against claims by those in the west that Argyle Street is the longest street in Scotland, and against Aberdonian claims that the title should go to King Street in the Granite city.

Westhill Welcomes Refugees, not Racism!
Community groups and local residents are gathering on Saturday 23 August, from 5-7pm, for a peaceful event outside the Hampton Hotel on Straik Road, Westhill. There will be food, music, colourful banners and messages of hope for the refugees living there.
Why Now? Throughout August, angry protesters have targeted people seeking asylum across the UK, standing outside their homes and shouting threats and abuse. This has happened at two hotels in Aberdeen. Westhill is their next target.
These protesters - often bussed in from all over Scotland - say it’s about local concerns. So why are they targeting vulnerable people who have nothing to do with government cuts to public services? Protesters have zero evidence for their accusations about hotel residents, who are stuck here while the Home Office deals with a backlog of paperwork, and who volunteered to clear our parks after Storm Floris.
Imagine fleeing your home, leaving everything behind to escape war or persecution, and suddenly finding yourself not only alone in a new country, but unable to go outside because a terrifying mob is threatening your life.
This is our community and we cannot let our neighbours be treated this way.
If you’re thinking, “plenty of folk will be there, I’ll go if they turn up again,” please note: Saturday will be the fifth such demonstration in our area in just three weeks - it is vital we stand together NOW and reject this message of hate!
Please join us in a spirit of friendship and compassion to say “Our Community Cares.”
Westhill welcomes refugees, not racism!
For the last two weeks in Aberdeen we have had racists targeting the refugee hotel at the links, this weekend they have moved their target to the hotel at the Lang Stracht.
The people of Aberdeen need to stop this hate, they are cynically using 'women and children' as cover for their racism and xenophobia, and attacking the most vulnerable in the city.
Saturday 16th August at 5:30 pm at the Sure Hotel off the Lang Stracht, come by with friends and show that Aberdonians will not stand for this bigotry
GIVE RACISM TWO FINGERS.
Please share and boost the event.
Fascism in Scotland
Last Saturday a number of us were at an anti-fascist counter protest, off the back of the GB national strike protests, this was was at a refugee hotel in Aberdeen.
There was about 120 fash, 30 anti-fash and only 25 police. but they didn't get near the hotel.
So to any Aberdonians here, you need to pay attention, a lot of this stuff is being spread on other social media networks. This is what the first embers of fascism looks like, imagine what we could do if we outnumber them.
They are planning to be back this weekend We need Aberdonians out to make sure they get the message that racism is welcome in Aberdeen, please share.
