Boy is actually stretching credulity to the absolute limit, I am a pensioner, a Glasgow man that now spends most of my time in sunny Catalonia.
I made the decision to temporarily leave my beloved Scotland till it regains its senses and embraces the inevitable.
That inevitable I refer to is of course Self Determination.
I am a father, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, a patriotic Scot, a republican and a socialist.

Contradiction of Government Spending - Austerity and War
zhlédnutí 2,7KPřed dnem
The contradiction of government spending on austerity versus war highlights a perplexing dichotomy in fiscal policy. Austerity measures typically involve reducing public expenditures to decrease budget deficits, often resulting in cutbacks to social programs and public services. Conversely, wartime spending sees a dramatic surge in government outlays, justified by national security imperatives....

Part 2 - Exploring the Influence of Multipolarity on Geopolitical Tensions
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed měsícem
Multipolarity has intensified the Russia-Ukraine conflict and influenced the Palestinian struggle, reshaping regional dynamics and global power balances. For example, the expanding global solidarity with the Palestinian cause is partly due to a multipolar world where human rights issues gain more international attention and advocacy, facilitated by social media and diaspora communities

The term multipolarity refers to a distribution of power in the international system where there are multiple centers of power or influence. In a multipolar world, no single country or bloc has overwhelming dominance, leading to a balance of power among several nations or groups. This contrasts with a unipolar or bipolar distribution, where one or two states respectively hold the majority of gl...

you have dealt with some very difficult topics with courage thanks for another excellent program.
Words aren't enough 😢😢
Four racists complaining about racism. Welcome to Scotland through a Scottish prism!
A huge loss to Scotland, and sadly yet another patriot who has passed without seeing Scotland as a free country again. Very very sad.
Thanks for a great programme where as ever you cut through the nonsense and get to the point. And thanks for giving us a place to collectively note our sadness at the loss of the GREAT Iain Lawson, he will be much missed.
Heartbreaking news. RIP.
Didn't know Ian personally, but always appreciated his take on things even if I didn't agree with it 100% , RIP Ian
Lloyd is a strong voice for the oppressed peoples against the murderers in the middle east isn't he? However. Although not sure I support his comments about the day of the arrival of the saviour! We are under attack from Jihad! oppressed peoples. Surely we're better than that? Our culture's are so different. The way I see it. The way to bring the left and right together is to build more houses. Where's the march for social housing?
Great story about him sticking £500 on Jim Sillars in the Govan by-election. There's no one of the calibre like the guys of his generation. Disappointed to hear about All Under One Banner cancelling their Edinburgh march 'to make a stand.' How dare they? And where's the march for social housing in Scotland? Why don't they make a stand on Independence? Shambles.
Rest in peace Iain Lawson. Yours for Scotland. So sad. Independence has got a bit futher away today.
I believe independence will create a democracy, probably the first real democratic state in Europe. We certainly do not live in democracy at the moment.
I disagree with the panel consensus for not joining the Demonstration against racism planned with the 7th of September and can't see how your agreement against turning up and showing solidarity holds any logic. At 16-00mins Phil talks about how marches and placards are pointless, yet the next sentence talks of the need for boots on the ground? We need huge numbers at the demo against racism with many Scottish white faces in the crowd as we can to show solidarity with our ethnic minorities, who in Scotland are even more of a minority than other places in the UK. What message will it send if no one turns up against the fascists? How welcome will our non-white brothers and sisters feel in Scotland if they these thugs turn up and are not challenged in huge numbers? We should not be afraid or intimidated from making a stand and telling those with racist attitudes that they are the ones that are not welcome. AS ENGLAND HAS RECENTLY SUCCESSFULLY DONE. It is all about looking after our own and that includes everyone who lives in Scotland. And we don't need to get dirty or catch fleas to do so. Under one banner have called it correct. You are failing to address reality for what it is. Some fights you cannot choose. At 25-07mins Barrheadboy talks about satires and brown faces being targets. Well we can hide our saltires, but folk cannot change the colour of their skin. Then you go on to talk about unity........😡
All excellent points & I totally agree. In my view urging people not to go is the behaviour of scabs, I'm disgusted & certainly won't have anything to do with TASP again. The panelists clearly don't know the meaning of the word Solidarity. Ironic they're often wittering on about so so called 'unity'.
Four racists complaining about racism. Welcome to Scotland through a Scottish prism!
Sorry to hear this. I knew Iain when he had a very different political outlook! He was always passionate in what he believed in. RIP my old friend.
Independence first and last and always. Condolences to Iain Lawson's family and friends. A huge loss to the independence cause, but let's remember he made his mark, and leaves the challenge to the rest of us to match the impact he made. Completely agree that AUOB should stick to protesting independence, and not get drawn into anything else. The SNP deciding to get into the UK's Brexit argument instead of fighting Scotland's cause on the basis of Brexit is the biggest example of this. Independence first.
Absolutely gutting hearing this news today. Condolences to his family. RIP Iain you will be sorely missed.
RIP M Lawson. A very sad loss.
The 2011 'London Riots' were supposedly triggered bythe shooting of Mark Duggan. I was suspect then and I feel same with this one. Another distraction and testing the waters by the security services? Excuse to create more laws that curb our freedoms? Swinney is Sturgeon Sturgeon is Swinney. They are in step even when she is out of sight & mind! They need gone. Craven Gradualists, worse than the royals in regards to whom they are paid to serve!
Always a Sunday night tonic form you chaps; first class broadcast as ever. . RIP Iain.
What a desperately sad day for Scotland. Iain dedicated so much of himself fighting for independence for his and our beloved Scotland. Loving the show dedicated to him and stories of his life. ❤
Agree to disagree. It's the ADULT way. So true the adage 'Youth is wasted on the young' By the time we reach our 3 score years & 10 we are experienced, educated in life we have limited time to pass our knowledge on. We can only hope we have passed enough on to our weans to carry on and finish our work! RIP Iain. Your footprint on the path to Freedom will be immortal!
John swinney can't even hold his own he is getting interviewed,,every broadcaster just talks over him and he sheepishly accepts this behaviour, grow a set swinney
rest in peace. Im so sorry for your loss, Im very shocked. It's tragic that Ian never got to see his dream of an independent Scotland.
Another good show lads keep up the good work
A whole generation are being badly let down by SNP Scottish government in education.
It could be worse they could be getting their education in England or Wales
Why has Scots politicians not decided to go over to Nagasaki to Represent Scotland? We weren't even asked if boycotting Nagasaki was what we wanted. Israel is committing GENOCIDE & UN now considers them war criminals. Why would Japan want such a country to attend the commemoration, given Israel's behaviour may result in Nagasaki being repeated? Fact is - in this 'so called democracy of UK' Scotland, Wales & NI haven't even been asked whether we support their stand or not. And Starmer doesn't speak for me. And from what I can gather on social media, he doesn't speak for Scotland. Soooo... why aren't our ELECTED MSPs making their own choices & working as though they are already INDEPENDENT? Instead they're having their wee Brownie Pow-wow to talk about England's racist riots. These people want elected in two years! What FOOLS those MSPs are!
I shared my thoughts elsewhere but want to say here, how very sorry & sad I was to hear of Iain's passing - what a shock! I wish to send my very deepest condolences to his family and to all he considered a friend! A giant of a man, and irreplaceable! But his spirit will live on because we'll continue to fight in his name, in Trish's name & my father, Harry's name - so many people who wanted their country set free but didn't see it. What they started, we will finish. 👍
Today's programme was a fitting tribute to Iain Lawson,
RIP Iain, both of us are so sad at the loss of Iain. Iain wasn't just talking about Independence he was making and actively securing his goals with his involvement with Salvo. Honestly we're totally sad, but I'm all so concerned at the loss of Ian's contribution he brought for Scotland freedom. If someone sets up a fund to buy Ian a wreath we'll donate he deserves the biggest wreath Scotland has.
RIP Iain, you'ii be missed
Goodness, I'm so sorry to hear about Iain's passing, he was a force to be reckoned with and so obviously dedicated to independence. Condolences to his family and friends.
This is heartbreaking news. RIP Ian you will be sorely missed.💔
Thats British justice for you, if you abuse children they give you a knighthood, if you write a facebook post that the currupt government and judiciary don't like they give you a jail sentence.
Rest in Peace my friend.
Cracking shoe today. Thank you all
Really sorry to hear of Big Iains passing. Condolences to his family. Was always interesting listening to Iains views and opinions.
So sad. What a loss to Scotland Iain is. My condolences to Iain's family and friends. RIP big man.
Take care all.
How tf is antiracism diluting Scots indy??? wow. Aye lets just let the huns run amok .Daft liberals man .
In the Alloa and Grangemouth 2024 general election results Eva Comrie the woman in the video only got 2.1% of the votes, 881 people voted for her and she finished in seventh place. At least Eva Comrie did better than the Alba candidate ex MP Kenny MacAskill in the Alloa and Grangemouth constituency election who got 1.5% of the vote, only 638 people voted for Kenny MacAskill and he finished in eighth place.
RIP Iain, another champion lost
Totally agree Eva
Loyd as usual the totally wise one !
Rip Iain Lawson..
Listened with interest as it’s good to be aware of other perspectives on the future of Scotland. I have been living and working in England for many years but moving back to Scotland in the next couple of years so want be be better informed
So you are not looking for a well balanced perspective then?
Is their Investor state dispute clauses installed in all these Freeport and energy takeovers? When we get Independence , and nationalise these industries, close out Freeport's . See Venezuela and the corporate theft by the US. 🐼🐼🏴🏴
RIP Iain, 🙏 😢
Iain Lawson , sad another character gone, I didn't agree with his views on the yanks and NATO etc two big important issues as the empires die. Bring on a multipolar BRICS +. 🐼🐼🏴🏴
The SNP wanted to close down AUOB marches, this is their chance . 🐼🐼🏴🏴
Sums up the current SNP,our national party,taken over by the Globalists! Any SNP candidate wanting to be run from Davos or their subsidiary,Brussels, should be either ousted,or banned from standing! A year past May, I went up to Willie McRae's cairn for his 100th birthday, not a single one of those plastic nationalists turned up,not one...the movement is just getting used as a vehicle for a Socialists wet dream, this should be about Scotland, not what the WEF/UN and the EU want!
the SNP will do everything to avoid supporting the AUOB - ther have been compromised
Sorry but independence for Scotland takes second place just now. Stopping the genocide is my first priority. Scottish independence is important but to say we focus on that to the exclusion of other issues is just plain wrong. Let's face it, we're not going to get independence just now, through no fault of our own. I don't agree with the anti-racism march event conflicting with the OAUB one. But the genocide is ongoing in Palestine, it's worse atrocities every single day. Yesterday and last week the most heinous. You/we should not sideline Palestine. It's the same colonialist issue. But we are not (yet) getting exterminated. Nelson Mandela supported Palestine and said the oppression of the Palestinians is worse than that of the South Africans, and that none of us are free till all of us are free. We should espouse the Palestinian cause as central to our own struggle. Eva's statement is both wrong and racist. Yesterday I attended the weekly protest in Glasgow for Palestine, and I will do so every saturday till we get a ceasefire and very probably beyond, until Palestine is free.
To clarify in case my comment gets misinterpreted. The anti-racism march (which is distinct from the Palestine solidarity protest) should not have been organised for the same day as the AUOB march. If I could (and do where possible), I would always attend the AUOB marches, at the moment as part of the Palestine solidarity bloc. The two anti-colonialist movements are inseparable as far as I'm concerned.
Without Independence we cannot address ANY of the other issues,
It's more than possible to do both. And necessary to do both. Because unless we get Independence, we can do absolutely ZERO about the Palestinian issue. English labour are well in USA/Israeli pockets and colonialist Scotland's views will never, EVER be listened to. Labour have only just been elected so even voting them out is impossible for the next five years. So the best we can do is get Independence & then decide what we, as an Independence country, want to do iabout the Palestinian issue. So I promote BOTH issues on Twitter (or X or whatever you want to call it). I'm actually quite good at multi-tasking. 😉
Got zero to do with us...concentrate of Scotland, just look at the state of the place,weeds pulling the infrastructure apart,rubbish everywhere,crumbling and falling apart,yet we had a man giving our money away to what the Arabic nations call,sewer rats...one side is as bad as the other,let them get on with it,and let us concentrate on Scotland!
nothing you do will impact Palestine. Nothing, Indy is the only cause Your not getting indy because the SNP are into gender, and every other issue that is not indy.
Labour should publish the russian report in its entirety. Let's see the Johnson and farage betrayal or treason.
Where is snp in the media, heard not one statement on what is the snp route to ending yoons marches to cause rioting in Scotland.
