After #Tory #MSP Jackson #Carlaw raises sectarian #vandalism in one of his local #Catholic #schools, the #FirstMinister of #Scotland, John #Swinney, offers to visit the school with him. Great to see in this case that #sectarianism isn't being swept under the carpet, and politicians of different parties uniting against it

“Greece’s National Gallery said a Greek lawmaker on Monday attacked four paintings in an exhibition at the museum in Athens, including one he had previously criticized as offensive on religious grounds.
“Police detained Nikolaos Papadopoulos — of the small right-wing, ultra-religious Niki party — for several hours before releasing him. The National Gallery … shut down after the attack…”
Teslas hit with "Kraft cheese singles" was not on my #teslatakedown bingo card. Makes sense, though, because they stick to absolutely everything, are easy to cut into the shape of a swastika, and will pass as "food" if you are stopped by police.

"...Tasmania’s only Telsa store has been vandalised with graffiti, labelling CEO Elon Musk a “Nazi”.
The shop front, located in Derwent Park in Hobart, was graffitied with the phrase “Do you really want to drive a swasticar?” alongside a photo of Musk captioned “Heil TeSSla.”
Grassroots Action Network Tasmania (GRANT) posted photos of the vandalism to their Facebook page.
“A proud new rebranding of the Tesla outlet in nipaluna/Hobart has been spotted honouring their fascist in chief, Elon ‘the space Nazi’ Musk,” they wrote. "
Today in Labor History March 11, 1811: Luddites attacked looms near Nottingham, England, because automation was threatening their jobs. At the time, workers were suffering from high unemployment, declining wages, an “endless” war with France and food scarcity. On March 11, they smashed machines in Nottingham and demonstrated for job security and higher wages. The protests and property destruction spread across a 70-mile area of England, reaching Manchester. The government sent troops to protect the factories and made machine-breaking punishable by death.

Bizzare #vandalism - someone has taken the effort to climb a light column on #pedestrian refuge in middle of the village and obscure keep left #sign with grey paint (they have also done the same to smaller sign on the #bollard, can't be seen in photo due to darkness). Seems more sociopathic than normal #graffiti (maybe someone pissed off the refuge is there in first place, it discourages speeding through the village, or angry that the local Speedwatch have put up a camera nearby?) #Suffolk
