Believe in Scotland Glasgow march and rally - update
TNT show host John Drummond chats with Gordon MacIntyre Kemp from Believe in Scotland and Marlene Halliday from Pensioners for Independence on the eve of the first Believe in Scotland march and rally in Glasgow.
A range of fantastic speakers have been announced, including First Minister Humza Yousaf but there has also been a spat with Alba and the Scottish Greens refusal to share a platform with them, so not without its headaches for organisers Gordon and Marlene. Still, they are still positive it will be a fantastic day - Indypodcaster Marlene will be on stage while Fiona will be in George Square helping to run the Yes Stones/ Yes Slates stall, so do come by and say hello!
Hope the weather gods are kind to us and we all have a fantastic day! We will cover the speeches from the event in a separate broadcast.

Customer Reviews
Getting Rid of Scotland’s Nuclear Weapons
Really enjoyed the main interview in this episode with three Scottish CND activists. It marks the first anniversary of the UN Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Treaty. And wow, what an example of two campaigns reinforcing each other: an independent Scotland would certainly become signature to TPNW and the TPNW would certainly provide support to Scotland’s negotiations to get rid of Trident. And who knows what that would mean for the UK’s nuclear arsenal.
Scottish topical content - excellent
Really enjoying the fresh, topical content from this podcast! Learning lots about Scottish culture and politics, economics, history, and all very entertaining and engaging.
History for all
This is the history we all should have been taught at school, engaging and linked to the modern day experience, it’s a must listen for all those interested in where we Scots came from and perhaps where we are going
