Nothing succeeds like secession
Just a quick note to let you know I am one of the interviewees in Dani Garavelli's Radio 4 documentary If At First You Don't Secede..., which is about the epic saga of the ever-elusive Indyref 2. The other interviewees include Sean Clerkin, Liz Lloyd, Libby Brooks, Ailsa Henderson and Kenny Farquharson. You can listen to the programme HERE, and the part with me in it starts at about 9:05.

I heard it, you made good contributions. But the general narrative I can’t abide it’s a travesty of what actually happened and Sturgeon’s squandered. I don’t think Swinney really believes in independence, his actions are inexplicable on that hypothesis. And hearing LL’s voice grates considering what she did and got away with
ReplyDeleteOh, absolutely. Because clearly, everything that’s been achieved over the last few years is just a tragic waste. I mean, who needs things like progressive policies, record-breaking employment figures, or a decent standard of living for Scotland’s most vulnerable when you can just focus on what really matters. how inconvenient it is that Nicola Sturgeon has the audacity to actually believe in Scottish independence? But, of course, we all know better. Just forget about all the hard work and years of effort. SNP strategy is a travesty in a way that only some people seem to grasp, and I’m sure they’ll be sure to explain it to us at length in a very constructive way. Swinney? Really? Doesn’t believe in independence? You’ve cracked the code there, Sherlock. And let’s not even get started on the others because, I mean, they’re absolutely flawless in their unblemished political history. Who needs context or nuance when you can just throw out blanket judgments with zero regard for how much more complex it is?
Delete606 - do you believe in anything troll?
Deletethe thing about independence and all that - it might be better, it could be good, but here's the thing :
ReplyDeleteI've a good job with a civil service with a 28% pension contribution.
The system works and I don't see why people can't accept that.
Is that irony? Satire?
Deletefair play for your honesty sir, the middle class have been too timid about looking after their own interests IMO
Delete- if indy doesn't deliver a plethora of comfortable knife and fork jobs, it isn't worth it.
The revolution will be a gravy train, or it is nothing.
