  • Andrew Mcfadyen's Story of Combining a Ph
    The Scotland-UN Committee Devolution and the Labour Myth James Wilkie As recently as twenty years ago few people dreamed that Scotland would ever reach the stage of being given the chance to vote for independence. It was a dream that for centuries had seemed beyond realisation, and many who had spent their entire lives working for it never lived to see the chance of realising it. So what triggered the change in its prospects? There is only one answer to this question – devolution. Without that there would have been no take-off platform for the independence rocket, no effective step in the direction of autonomy, and no basis for a nationalist government with the political authority to plan the road ahead. To put it with brutal candour, to this day we would still be waiting for the SNP to gain a majority of the Scottish seats at Westminster. So how did this vital intermediate step of devolution come to be realised, in the teeth of the determination of the entire London establishment right across the political spectrum to kill it at any and all cost? Here is one little-known aspect of the answer. Establishment hostility reached its sordid peak with the orgy of corruption that was the 1979 referendum. It is not the subject of this article and there is no need to repeat facts that we all know. Thatcher’s arrogant coup d’état in the face of a perfectly adequate majority vote similar to that of the 1975 EEC referendum left Scotland stunned, bewildered and disorientated.

  • How to Organise Small Scale Events
    How to Organise Small Scale Events Recent research carried out by Yes Scotland shows that a large majority of people are interested in receiving information about the referendum. However, many of these people will not see the appeal of attending some of the more traditional political campaigning events such as public meetings. Instead they may be more interested in attending something that has a more informal and intimate atmosphere. Events such as these will also allow for a more two-way interaction between Yes volunteers and the public than can be achieved at a meeting with speeches from a platform with a short questions and answer session. Below are two examples that have been held by local Yes groups. Another event worth a look at is Yescafé organised by Yes Highland. You can find out more on its very own Facebook page - www.facebook.com/YesCafeForIndependence Coffee Mornings Margaret Malcolm, YES Glasgow “We held a coffee morning in our area to reach out to people who might not come along to public meetings. Good contacts included a teacher who works locally and was keen to encourage a formal debate in her school, as a continuation of the kind of work she was doing in her former school. We also got someone along from the local Community Council who wanted to register as a volunteer, and get more details on the resources available from Yes locally and nationally that would help with her community's issues.” Coffee House Events June Martin, Yes Linlithgow “After a trip to The Burgh Coffee House in Stirling in January to listen to Dennis Canavan, I came away from the evening inspired and determined to put on the same type of event in Linlithgow.
