The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/09/02

"Good Morning Scotland were almost shameless".It has rightly been mentioned in some quarters that before we proceed to indyref 2, the Yes side are going to have to seriously look at what could have been different in indyref 1, and look at how to improve or counteract. In that spirit then I spoke to Professor John Robertson about the book he has written focusing on the media coverage of the referendum and the report on this year's general election.You can download the book here -

The Scottish Independence Podcast ·

2015/07/16

For the 108th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I checked in again with Ivan Mckee. Moodie. Ivan has been down in Westminster to help some of his SNP colleagues and since he has been down there he has had the time to have a look at the place and has some interesting observations on what goes on down there.More specifically, is the place fit for purpose as a building, does an obsession with procedure get in the way of good governance, what's the most useless way you can think of to use an
