This time Ivan and I got round to SNP economic policy in a UK election. How does it differ from that of the main parties and what influence could it have. On the Scottish side of it, what happens to the oil money if there is full fiscal autonomy/responsibility?Also, William Duguid speaks of Oor Jim and Naebody's Piers Morgan.

TPS 9 - Indyref Mark 2

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/04/21

In today's episode I am joined by Mark Frankland, writer. Neither Mark nor myself are members of any party, which frees us up to discuss some matters that others may not be free to discuss.And even though the SNP didn't discuss the prospect of IndyRef 2 in their manifesto, and Sturgeon said she wasn't planning one, it didn't stop some of the unionist parties from having a go on the matter. This has of course predictably led to the very funny #NotRuledOutByTheSNP hashtag on twitter.We discussed if

TPS 7 - Transport pt 1 - The Trains

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/04/19

Why not come on a lazy train ride this Sunday. Well, I assume most of you would like to, but think it is just too bloody expensive. Why should that be? What can be done about it?Good things come to those who wait, and I'm not talking about your train being late, I am in fact referring to how renationalising the train system may be much cheaper and easier than many suspect.These were our topics for this

TPS 6 - The Polls

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/04/18

This time we talked about the polls both north and south of the border. In Scotland some prominent types could be in trouble, as you can see in the image above.

TPS 5 - UKIP & Immigration

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/04/17

In this episode we look at UKIP and their attitude to Scotland, as well as some of the more unusual declarations from some members or former members of that party. That of course brought us onto immigration, which was the main focus of the discussion. With such a poisonous atmosphere surrounding the issue, it can be hard to come out and say that Scotland could actually do with more, not less,

TPS 4 - Trident

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/04/16

In this episode we look at the plans to replace Trident. Is it worth the money? Is it good military strategy? And what about the Red Menace. What about the SNP red line?Oh, and a bonus point for anyone who can tell me why I stuck that little bit of music on at the end. It wasn't because there will be another episode tomorrow.Hope you enjoy…Hope you enjoy…LINKShttp://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/https://twitter.com/Ivan_McKeehttps://twitter.com/mgreenwell

TPS 3 - Austerity

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/04/15

In this episode we look at the Labour and Tories occupying the same space but frantically trying to steal each others thunder. More importantly however, we talked about why austerity doesn't work.Finally, is the Better Together love affair over? How bad do things have to be if Willie Rennie is calling YOU confused?

2015/03/22

The 104th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is a talk on the post-referendum economic situation, given by one of our previous guests, Ivan McKee . I'll also be interviewing Ivan soon for another episode, but before we get there, I think it'd be enlightening to have a listen to this first. Before the referendum Ivan toured the country with a presentation that managed to reach a lot of people. In this new talk, he rivisits some of that material but also adds much more and explains where he

After a break the For A' That podcast is back.Andrew and I were joined for the first post-referendum episode by Gillian Martin and Doug Daniel.Up for discussion were what is becoming known as "The Surge", the prospects of the often mentioned Yes Alliance, new leaders and deputy leaders for the SNP and Scottish Labour, how much we all love Jim Murphy, the umpteenth promise of House of Lords reform and what (possibly) someone else buys when they go to the shops for Ed Miliband.I also had a couple of

2014/10/08

For the second Scottish Independence Podcast interview after the referendum, I spoke with Professor John Robertson (who was also on the podcast about 7 months ago). The last time we spoke about his research into BBC bias in the referendum and his appearance at the Scottish Parliament (also featured here), so this time we moved on to the period surrounding the referendum and the barrage of Unionist propaganda, knowing or otherwise, in the last few days before the vote.We also talked about the
