Yes campaign lessons… by Neil Scott What we knew about Kirkintilloch in 2011-14, was that it was a majority Yes for Independence town. Other towns in East Dunbartonshire- Bearsden, Milngavie, Torrance, Lenzie, Bishopbriggs- we weren’t so confident of.

The backdrop to all of it is laid out very starkly in the first paragraphs. The Nicola Sturgeon story is essentially drenched in personal, familial and societal struggles for hitherto denied opportunities, justice and equality. The Patriarchy will never reach out to feel the truth of this from a woman with a working-class background. Nicola […]
Folks involved in the Radical Independence Campaign have been having some discussions relating to our attitudes towards the Scottish Parliament elections in May 2026, including (because it’s a supposedly “new” factor) the “left” party being set up by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, its implications for Scotland, for Scottish self-determination, and for RIC.

No, says Neil Scott. The Corbyn project/party is a split in a London based party (new New new Labour) built around a London based interim leadership.

At the root of it all, you’ve allowed yourself to be persuaded down the rabbit hole marked ‘Gateway to Fascism’. There’s no easy way to say this and it’s no real surprise, but we’re way past the ‘sleepwalking’ stage and we’re now galloping towards fascism. The horrors of arms to Israel, deportations, the rise of […]

DOON wi CORRUPT RULING CLASS DICTATORSHIP !!!
