Podcasts about radical independence campaign

We chat to Scottish independence campaigner Liam McLaughlan who we first came across when he stood as Scottish Socialist Party candidate for Glasgow East in the General election. Liam is a veteran of the legendary Radical Independence Campaign in 2014 and last month he gave the opening speech at a conference organised by left wing anti establishment group Conter to mark the 10 year anniversary of the independence referendum. We invited him into the studio to talk about the event, his experiences and his thoughts for the future campaign. Liam also had an article published in the National newspaper which you can read here https://www.thenational.scot/politics/24606241.indyrefs-10-year-anniversary-not-waste-another-decade/ Also look out for a follow up episode with highlights from other speakers at the conference coming soon.   The Scottish Independence Podcasts team produce a NEW podcast episode every Friday search for Scottish Independence Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts.

On Saturday 26th of October, the Radical Independence Campaign held a conference.  The Speakers included Ungagged's Nathalia Urban from Resist Brazil and Scottish Green MSP, Ross Greer.   Nathalia starts the podcast off, followed by Ross at, 6 mins 25 sec and then Nathalia again at 15 mins 20 secs.   Introduced by Neil Anderson.

Well chums a week was definitely a long time in politics because after yesterday's votes at Westminster we're now heading for a general election on December the 12th. We try and examine the myriad of permutations over voting intentions and party stances and wonder if the real issues such as climate change and austerity will break through the dominant narrative of Brexit. We also turn our attention to the prospect of indyref2 and the need for Yessers to rally round the SNP electoral machine, putting aside our differences, over the course of the election campaign. I chip in on the harsh realities behind the sloganeering of the Tories on leaving the EU as shown by the exposure of trade talks between the UK and the USA and the shelving of workers' rights and environmental standards in the Johnson deal. Lesley attended ,and spoke at, the Radical Independence Campaign meeting in Glasgow last Saturday and came away enthused at the energy and collegiate enthusiasm of the folk who were there. The first inquiry report into the Grenfell Tower fire has now been released and it focuses blame on the London Fire Brigade. Boris Johnson claims that the survivors will now know the truth behind the tragedy.Is this yet another establishment cover up? Along the way we also discuss, amongst other things, Jo Swinson's wandering vowels , but not Dundee United's win v Partick Thistle last night.        

In this episode, we sit down with Connor Beaton of the Radical Independence Campaign to discuss all things related to Scottish Independence.He did an excellent job of explaining the Marxist stance on national self-determination, and linking that to the wider effort for a Scottish Workers' Republic.Find Connor's work here:  https://twitter.com/cdbeaton                                      www.conter.co.ukFind out more about the Radical Independence Campaign at: https://twitter.com/Radical_Indy                                          Learn more about Radical Reflections: www.radicalreflections.co.ukSupport Radical Reflections: www.patreon.com/radicalreflectionsEnd Music: The People's Flag by Pól MacAdaim

Beyond the Noise with David Jamieson is a weekly podcast with CommonSpace journalist David Jamieson, where he gets behind the 24/7 news cycle and gets to the heart of issues, trying to find the substance behind the headlines. IN the latest episode of Beyond the Noise Jamieson speaks to Jonathon Shafi, a co-founder of the Radical Independence Campaign, about the how Boris Johnson becoming PM and his pursuit of a new Brexit strategy impacts the dynamics of the independence movement. They discuss: 0:54 - What are the options facing a Boris Johnson’s government in the coming months? 8:18 – Does the independence movement require a ‘plan b’ in the face of an intransigent British state? 11:34 – Has the People’s Vote strategy harmed the independence cause? 16:33 – What have we learned about how the British establishment will oppose independence from the Brexit mess?

Can you guess which was which?Finally, as ever, I asked my guest their personal reasons for supporting Scottish Independence.Hope you enjoy…

This week’s @lesleyriddoch Podcast has Lesley fresh back from the WEA in Sheffield and the Radical Independence Campaign event in Glasgow on November 23. Two very different experiences as she describes them. Looking forward, this week will see the long anticipated White Paper which will answer questions. Lesley will be spending some time this week talking about this document; rumoured to be 700+ pages. We discuss if it’s all the possible answers or none – or somewhere in between. We also briefly talk about the role of negotiations in key policy areas. Especially, in the light of the recent Iranian Nuclear agreements; would it be possible to avoid a ‘McWeimar Republic’? And, it wouldn’t be a @lesleyriddoch Podcast without gratuitous mentions of things Nordic, music of the 70/80s and Volvos. They are all there.
