ScotIndyPod 40 - Stewart Bremner

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2013/12/02

For the 40th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with Stewart Bremner, who is a graphic artist, illustrator and designer. He's been involved in the Scottish independence debate in a number of ways, making posters for Bella Caledonia, making an excellent short video called When I Was A Child (it's at the start of the podcast too).We talked about his work and why they don't often stress the historical and cultural angles in the debate.We also talked about the political poster as an

2013/11/28

For the 39th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke to Anne Donohoe, who, amongst other things is a Yes Scotland activist.The interesting thing though, is that she didn't start as an independence supporter but rather came to the conclusion that indy would be best after a long number of years working in various political campaigns around the country, and coming to some pretty damning conclusions about the nature of the British state.She has also been a member of CND for a long time, and

2013/11/25

For the 38th episode of For A' That, Andrew and I were joined by Ivan McKee from Business for Scotland and Juliet Swann who works for the electoral reform society.Up for discussion were the IFS report. Were the numbers as accurate as they might have been? Who are the Institute for Fiscal Studies and were there deficiencies in the way the whole thing was covered?Equal marriage was on the parliamentary timetable again and it appears to finally be on the way. Why has Scotland dragged its heels a little

2013/11/15

For the 38th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast, I am reproducing a talk given by Shami Chakrabarti from the campaign group Liberty. This talk is reproduced with the kind permission of Liverpool John Moores University. It comes from their Roscoe lecture series.The reason I am reproducing this talk is that with Cameron himself suggesting the UK may have to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights a month or so ago, these become important issues not just globally, but also in

2013/11/13

This time I was joined by Mark MacNicol, a Glaswegian novelist and playwright, who assured me his new novel, Finn McCool Rises, has more than a little to do with the Independence Referendum.We talked about his new book and the mythology behind it.We also got on to how it can be difficult for Scottish writers in the current climate and Mark was happy to give a concrete example.Mark gave his reasons for supporting independence and also talked about some of the benefits he hopes it will bring to the

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

Ian Davidson's remarkable performances were discussed, as were the different narratives the story was run with depending whether you were north or south of the Tweed.Second was the continuing travails of Johann Lamont. Where does she go from

ScotIndyPod 36 - TUC Debate

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2013/11/07

In the course of these podcasts I'd like to include, along with our usual interviews, some debates that happen along the way that you may have missed.These may be debates in Scotland on the subject of independence directly, like this one, or alternatively on subjects which, like the last episode, are related to the debate but deserve to be seen in a broader context.This episode is the debate recently held by Clydebank TUC with the subject "Should The Working Class Support Independence?The original

ScotIndyPod 35-Humanitarian Intervention

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2013/10/31

One of the major reasons the UK state does not want Scotland to leave, though it is not often spelled out in this way, is that the UK's ability to project its power worldwide would diminish.There are so many assumptions wrapped up in this idea that it is sometimes hard to know where to begin unpicking them.In what way is this power projected, and to what end?Why is it automatically considered by many, and usually by the media, that the UK is using this power for good?Those are good questions

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2013/10/27

For the 36th episode of For A' That, Andrew and I were joined by James Maxwell and Peter Geoghegan.First topic up was the by-election in Dunfermalino. Predictable result given the circumstances or should we be reading more into it? Why don't the Greens do better?The next topic was Grangemouth and this broadened into a larger discussion about nationalisation.Finally, we got onto the definitions that are being used about what is happening in Scotland. Separation? Independence? Constitutional Change

For the second episode of this week I spoke to Paul Leinster, who is a member of both Labour For Indy and Republic Scot.We talked about the Labour For Indy group itself and the hostile reaction to it by some within the (not for Indy) Labour party.We also talked about Republic Scotland and how much support they receive within and outwith Holyrood. Is it certain we will keep the monarchy after a Yes vote?Finally we spoke about Paul himself and why someone who is a member of the Labour party and was

For the 32nd episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast (well, actually if you count the specials it is more than that, call it the 32nd interview) I spoke with Lynda Williamson, who works at Newsnet Scotland.We spoke about how Newsnet got started. What were the reasons and motivations for setting up? What do they hope to achieve with it?From there we moved on to to Lynda's reasons for supporting Independence and finally on to the broader media scene in Scotland, why things generally tend to come

2013/09/23

This is a special edition of the podcast featuring some music, some opinions from the crowd and some of the speeches from the Independence Rally in Edinburgh on 21st September 2014.The idea is to give those of you who were there a nice little keepsake of it, and for those like me who were unfortunate enough not to be able to make it, to give an idea of what went on.I'm well aware of course that the best thing about going to this type of political event is not the speeches, but rather the people you

For A' That 35 - Catalonia & Back

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2013/09/16

For our 35th episode Andrew and I were joined by James Maxwell and Kate Higgins.James has been over to Catalonia to see what's happening in their independence campaign. Can parallels be drawn between what's happening there and what is happening in Scotland? Moreover, SHOULD parallels be drawn between Scotland and the various other independent movements around the world, or is our situation unique?A lot of people were asking where Johann Lamont was during the summer. Well, she came back with an

We didn't talk about it in glowing terms.Gordon Brown making another appearance in the debate got a look in. Were his proposed constitutional changes just hot air or do they actually mean something?
