  • Four Corners 60
    Scotland’s Jewish Gathering They came from the north and the south, they came from the east and the west! More than 150 Jewish people from all over Scotland – from the Western Isles and the Grampians to Galloway, from all strands of Judaism and none, aged from 3 to 83 – converged on Edinburgh Synagogue DIAMOND ISSUE DIAMOND and Community Centre over the weekend of 26th to 28th October for a programme of inspiring speakers, rousing music, stimulating discussion – and just getting to know one another better. Guest speakers included Board of Deputies vice-president Edwin Shuker, who had fled from Baghdad just before his bar mitzvah and spoke emotionally about his gratitude that he lives in a country where the Jewish community can thrive. Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, speaking after news of the atrocity in Pittsburgh had broken, expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims and with Jewish people throughout the world, and reiterated the Scottish Government’s commitment “to tackle prejudice and build the society we want to be, where each person, every family, and all communities can flourish.” The programme included a special open meeting of SCoJeC’s Council, and there were also discussions on tackling demographic change, women in Judaism, mental health, Jewish schools, fundraising, and the use of technology and social media. There was a stirring candle-lit musical Havdalah, a sing-along klezmer session, and separate activities for the 20 children aged 3 to 16. The final session was an unprecedented panel of the chairs of all Scotland’s Jewish communities, whose discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing them quickly turned into agreement that what they have in common hugely outweighs their differences of geography and affiliation.

    Journal of the Scottish Parliament Volume 2: 2nd Parliamentary Year, Session 3 (9 May 2008 – 8 May 2009) SPJ 3.2 © Parliamentary copyright. Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body Information on the Scottish Parliament’s copyright policy can be found on the website - www.scottish.parliament.uk or by contacting Public Information on 0131 348 5000. Foreword The Journal is the central, long-term, authoritative record of what the Parliament has done. The Minutes of Proceedings, which are produced for each meeting of the Parliament, do that in an immediate way, while the Journal presents essentially the same material but has the benefit of hindsight to allow any errors and infelicities of presentation to be corrected. Unlike the Official Report, which primarily records what is said, the Minutes of Proceedings, and in the longer term the Journal, provide the authoritative record of what was done. The Journal is required under Rule 16.3 of Standing Orders and contains, in addition to the Minutes of Proceedings themselves, notice of any Bill introduced*, notice of any instrument or draft instrument or any other document laid before the Parliament; notice of any report of a committee, and any other matter that the Parliament, on a motion of the Parliamentary Bureau, considers should be included. (* The requirement to include notice of Bills introduced was only added to Rule 16.3 in January 2003. However, such notices have in practice been recorded in the Annex to the Minutes of Proceedings from the outset.) Note: (DT), which appears throughout the Journal, signifies a decision taken at Decision Time.

  • Brexit and Scottish Nationalism
    Brexit and Scottish Nationalism An Interview with Fiona Simpkins by Mélanie Cournil & Alice Bonzom The Brexit vote, welcomed with dismay in Scotland, has prompted the Scottish National Party to present itself as the only sound alternative to Westminster’s policies, viewed as damaging to Scottish interests. F. Simpkins analyses the SNP’s strategies and outlines the many political challenges ahead. Fiona Simpkins is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary British History, Politics and Society at the University Lumière of Lyon, France. Her main areas of research are devolution, Scottish politics, nationalism and the constitutional debate in Scotland. Recently, she has explored the impact of devolution and sub-national party competition on party organisation and branding. She has published several articles or book chapters on Scotland's unionist parties and focused more specifically on the resurgence of the Scottish Conservative party in Scotland after 2016. She has published her research in a variety of books and journals, including the Revue Française de Civilisation Britannique, Observatoire de la Société Britannique, and Etudes Ecossaises. Books & Ideas: How would you explain the rise of the Scottish National Party over the last 15 years? Fiona Simpkins: The Scottish National Party (SNP) was founded in 1934 but its electoral successes were few and far between until the mid-1960s to late 1970s when the party made its first electoral breakthroughs. It was then able to argue for further autonomy for Scotland and to attract a more moderate electorate than previously— voters who did not necessarily consider themselves as separatists but who were keen on defending Scotland’s economic interests and a more democratic system of government.
