Johann shares the impact of her trip to Srebrenica with Remembering Srebrenica Scotland in 2016.

Scottish Labour MSP James Kelly spoke to the CommonSpace ahead of the final vote at Holyrood to decide as to whether the Football Act should be scrapped.  ON THURSDAY, the Scottish Parliament will hear the final stage of James Kelly’s private member's bill to repeal the Offensive behaviour at football matches.   If the bill passes, it will be the first time that a Scottish Government's legislation will be repeal since the Scottish Parliament has been created in 1999. CommonSpace Reporter David Thomson spoke to Scottish Labour's James Kelly at their party conference in Dundee.  At conference, Kelly had a fringe meeting to discuss his member's bill. The fringe meeting was a panel discussion that was chaired by the former leader of the Scottish Labour party, Johann Lamont.  There was a wide variety of speakers that include Jeanette Findlay from Fans against crimination, Daniel Johnson MSP, the Scottish Labour’s justices spokesperson, and Eireann McAuley. CommonSpace's David Thomson spoke to both Janettee Findlay and Daniel Johnson to discuss why the Act should be scrapped.

This week we recap the book festivals at Lismore and the Radical Book Fair. It is also saw the shock resignation of Johann Lamont the leader of the Scottish Labour Party and a fair few folk had something to say about that. Lesley had a slightly different take on the various commentators. Nordic Horizons also hosted Timo Santala , the co founder of 'Restaurant Day' and there is plenty to share about this event. We also construct an interesting new radio programme which is modelled on unlikely combinations. 

This week Nicola Sturgeon and Johann Lamont met in the latest STV debate and talked over each other. This has been termed ‘the stairheid rammy’. Lesley thinks there is more to it than simple disagreement. In business news this week, the Co-op are about to sell farms and won’t split them up, Holyrood are about to look at farming subsidies and Standard Life are uncertain. Lesley thumps the table.   Finally, Aberdeen and Lesley have a wonderful ‘Blossom’ experience.

For the 37th For A' That podcast, Andrew and I were joined by Natalie McGarry and Rev Stu Campbell from the Wings Over Scotland site.The first topic up was the recent problems surrounding the allocation of contracts for shipbuilding in Glasgow and/or Portsmouth. Ian Davidson's remarkable performances were discussed, as were the different narratives the story was run with depending whether you were north or south of the Tweed.Second was the continuing travails of Johann Lamont. Where does she go from here? More to the point, where has she actually been going up to now?The constitution of an Independent Scotland is obviously an important issue we're going to have a look at. What should be in what should be out? What are the dangers of basing it too much on the politics of today? Why shouldn't economic rights be in there? Finally, why are the dangers in holding certain other places up as examples.The last topic was the poppy. Do the public necessarily go along with the examples being set by media and politicians alike? Are there dangers in the way remembrance services are currently portrayed?Deep fried mars bars and Prince Philip also get a look in.Hope you enjoy...LINKShttp://lallandspeatworrier.blogspot.co.uk/http://wingsoverscotland.com/http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/https://twitter.com/nataliemcgarryhttps://twitter.com/PeatWorrierhttps://twitter.com/WingsScotlandhttps://twitter.com/mgreenwell

For our 35th episode Andrew and I were joined by James Maxwell and Kate Higgins.James has been over to Catalonia to see what's happening in their independence campaign. Can parallels be drawn between what's happening there and what is happening in Scotland? Moreover, SHOULD parallels be drawn between Scotland and the various other independent movements around the world, or is our situation unique?A lot of people were asking where Johann Lamont was during the summer. Well, she came back with an errrm, interesting accusation in last week's FMQs. What does this say about the Labour press department and more widely their strategy and competence.The new Scottish budget came out this week. Is Swinney doing well? How difficult is it to keep the wheels turning in the face of what is (or isn't) coming from Westminster.Finally, a year to go! How are you going to spend it?

For episode 22 of the For A' That podcast Andrew and I were joined by New Statesman contributor James Maxwell and Huffington Post blogger and Labour Party member Andrew Smith.The Labour party was the focus of a large part of the discussion. More specifically, the couple of interviews that Johann Lamont did this week and her speech at the conference. This became a more general discussion on some of the woes of that party in the post-devolution era.We also discussed their new Truth Team and what that says about politics in this country. Some of us felt this had a kind of Orwellian overtone to it, others felt it represented the Americanisation of politics in Scotland and the UK and is reminiscent of American style attack ads.Devo-somethings were also a topic. With the three Better Together parties now all backing some form of further devolution, will they be able to come up with a unified plan. Furthermore, would further devolution damage or in fact strengthen the SNP's hand.Back on Labour, is the idea of more devolution causing a problem between the Westminster party and the Holyrood one?LINKShttp://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/andrew-smith/http://www.newstatesman.com/writers/james_maxwellhttps://twitter.com/andrew_graemehttps://twitter.com/PeatWorrierhttps://twitter.com/jamesmaxwell86lallandspeatworrier.blogspot.co.ukhttp://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.comhttps://twitter.com/mgreenwell

We talked about the EU from a few different perspectives. The referendum and how it will affect things was one topic and we had a natter about some of the fundamental misunderstandings about what the EU is/does as well.How the EU referendum might change things over at Holyrood got an airing. Could it strain the Unionist alliance?The European Court of Human Rights has also been in the news a bit more than normal recently. Andrew has some interesting ideas as to why.The rhetoric and the reality of what Obama had to say for himself this week was our final little topic.https://twitter.com/PeatWorrierhttps://twitter.com/mgreenwell

This special end of year episode features Andrew Tickell, Robin McAlpine of the Scottish Left Review and Reid Foundation, Alex Massie who blogs at the Spectator magazine and myself (Michael Greenwell). We talked about our important events of the year and a little about how we think things might go next year. The phoney war we have all been watching so far was certainly a topic as were positivity and negativity. The rise and whys of Johann Lamont also get an airing. There is a special end of year quiz that I predict you are going to enjoy.LINKShttps://twitter.com/alexmassiehttps://twitter.com/mgreenwellhttps://twitter.com/PeatWorrierhttp://reidfoundation.org/
