Another excellent article from my regular contributor Peter Young in Denmark. “You wouldn’t recognise Duke Street now,” my sister says, “it’s all bric-a-brac stores.” Lizzie is the only one of the litter who has remained close to our roots. Today, she lives just across from my primary school at the top of Armadale Street. Her daily shopping tripsContinue reading “The Distance of the Years”

I cameContinue reading “SCOTTISH POLITICS..THE MYSTERY.”
WHY I LOVE CHRISTMAS
WHY I LOVE CHRISTMAS I have always loved Christmas time. I loved it as a child. The excitement of what Santa would bring. I loved it when I was a little older, meeting pals, usually up in Glasgow, for a drink and a catch up before all heading back to our homes and families. TheContinue reading “WHY I LOVE CHRISTMAS”
So what really happened at Lockerbie..the search continues?
A guest article from the YFS legal eagle Ewan Kennedy who lives in Argyll. It certainly made a change from my normal Saturday night on the telly; I’m usually just watching rather than taking part. In response to a request from Al-Masar TV I agreed to contribute a Scottish dimension to the recent kidnapping andContinue reading “So what really happened at Lockerbie..the search continues?”
BREEKS VIEW OF THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
A guest post from a friend of Yours for Scotland who has become a regular contributor in recent times. Sooner or later, whatever path to Independence we follow, and even if we’re leading our velvet insurrection by the Constitutional route, the time will come when Scottish Independence needs a democratic component to ratify Scotland’s statusContinue reading “BREEKS VIEW OF THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.”
HEADING FOR BANKING DISASTER 2
A letter sent to a number of newspapers. Only one published it so far. Well done the Edinburgh Evening News. Dear Editor, Jeremy Hunt’s disastrous roll-back of banking regulations, imposed after the 2007/8 global financial crisis, is extreme folly. He had the effrontery to announce them in Edinburgh, where responsible banking was pioneered.[1] Since theContinue reading “HEADING FOR BANKING DISASTER 2”

SLAPPs
Another article from our regular legal correspondent Ewan Kennedy. I was talking to a usually very well informed political friend during the week and found that she hadn’t heard about SLAPPs, so it’s maybe time to put the word out more generally about what has been becoming a specialism for a section of the legalContinue reading “SLAPPs”
