    ScotIndyPod 187 - Odes To Our Adversaries

    Just occasionally in all the years I've been doing this, mostly for laughs, I've made a few little, ahem, tributes, to some of our political adversaries. The 187th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast is a run through of some of the best of these, because I think most of us are in need of a laugh at the moment. Hope you enjoy.

    ScotIndyPod 186 - Tory Lies, Trump, Empire

    The 186th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is amongst other things, a mix of some bad excuses. There's a bad excuse for a Prime Minister, a bad excuse for a President of the United States, and a few bad excuses for the behaviour of the British Empire. Along with that, there are people trying to expose those excuses, and how they got on with it. Hope you enjoy. http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/mgreenwell https://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast/ http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_LfMf1z6erDXSCHfw6_Bw/videos

    ScotIndyPod 185 - Billy Kay on Scotland and Identity

    The 185th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is a talk by Broadcaster, writer and activist and former guest on the show, Billy Kay, about Scottish identity. Have you ever noticed when you go abroad that the locals always seem to know what happened in 1437 in every wee nook and cranny of their town. Have you also noticed that this often isn't the case in Scotland? Why would that be? Kay explores this idea in the talk, but also provides some great stories from Scottish history, and there are a few revelations as well. For example, which UK Prime Minister may well have supported Scottish Independence?  Which SNP MSP alledges that she was followed around the Houses of Parliament in the dark by Scottish Labour MPs. Also, there's something about the special branch meddling in the Scottish Independence Movement. All that and more, hope you enjoy. http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/billykayscot https://twitter.com/mgreenwell https://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast/ http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_LfMf1z6erDXSCHfw6_Bw/videos

    ScotIndyPod 184 - How Has Any of This Changed?

    The Queen, God, the EU (in and out), your mate's dug, Alpha Centauri, cherry tomatoes, wind, Nigel Farage, xylophones, Bungle from Rainbow - whatever it is, if you listen to some people, it's a reason against Scottish Independence. The latest they are using is the virus, so for the 184th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I have taken some pieces of talks from before the coronavirus and I'm asking to you to think about if they still apply, or even, are they more urgent questions than before? And it finishes with an idiot for good measure. Hope you enjoy. http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast https://twitter.com/mgreenwell http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_LfMf1z6erDXSCHfw6_Bw/videos

    ScotIndyPod 183 - Tories Out

    For episode 183 of The Scottish Independence Podcast I'm taking you back to that wonderful world of a dew months ago in which the only things we had to worry about were Tory lies causing unnecessary death and hardship, and a babbling manboy in the White House. Oh wait, both of those things still apply. Anyway, it's a collection of whoppers, evasions and other nefarious activity from the Tories, just in case you ever forget what they are like. Hope you enjoy. http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/ http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_LfMf1z6erDXSCHfw6_Bw/videos https://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast https://twitter.com/mgreenwell

    ScotIndyPod 182 - The Clyde-Built Constitution

    "A mendacious drunkard's promise, made to convince his wife not to leave him", yes you guessed it, The Vow. However, the 182nd episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is, thanks to Independence Live, a talk given by Mark McNaught with an intro by John Drummond (former convenor of the Independence convention). It's about the importance of making a draft consitution for Scotland BEFORE a second referendum. It also gets into the problems with the constitutional situation in the UK "Arguably the most incoherent and feudal political system on Earth". The project, which seems to be on hold at the moment, can be found at Scottishconstitution.com Hope you enjoy. http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/mgreenwell https://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_LfMf1z6erDXSCHfw6_Bw/videos

    ScotIndyPod 181 - The Declaration of Arbroath

    Obviously you weren't expecting there would be any UK wide celebrations of The Declaration of Arbroath, were you? However, the indy movement has stepped up and we've had the documentary by Lesley Riddoch and Charlie Stuart, and there will be an illustrated version too. For my own part, I decided just to read the whole thing, not the few quotes we usually hear, and make it available as audio, so here it is. Obviously I read the translation from the National Library of Scotland, not the original Latin. Doing it, it was easy to see how it is in part a plea, partly a statement of intent, in one part an offer, and in another part a threat. A truly interesting document. A pity that no one in British broadcasting seems to think so (I know there are other things going on right now, however if they had had any intention of doing anything it would have been planned and done before the coronavirus outbreak). Hope you enjoy. http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_LfMf1z6erDXSCHfw6_Bw/videos https://twitter.com/mgreenwell

    ScotIndyPod 180 - All You Wanted To Know About Constitutions But Were Afraid To Ask

    The 180th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is, thanks to Independence Live, a talk given by John Drummond (former convenor of the Independence convention). In this talk he explains to an audience why he thinks it is a pivotal that we have a constitution prepared and ready to go before a second referendum, and not as something to be decided after. Hope you enjoy. http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheScottishIndependencePodcast https://twitter.com/mgreenwell http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_LfMf1z6erDXSCHfw6_Bw/videos
