David McGuiness is a mine of information on the subject of Scotland and very active within the independence grassroots movement.

David talks fluently about current affairs and historical points we all benefit from being aware of.

In Part 1 we covered a substantial and varied number of subjects to interest listeners including the Court of Session, Scots Law, the Claim of Right, sectarian events being orchestrated, Westminster throwing Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar under a bus, tax havens, the 6 square miles of the City of London, BBC Scotland getting worse and the alternative media in Scotland. We also discussed A Force For Good and how the SNP needs to step up to the front in organising events.

Paul Colvin was given the title The Indy Poet by the independence grassroots movement.

A prolific and wonderfully creative writer of poems who has inspired and entertained all who enjoy the music of the written work.

Paul talks about how he became a poet, what inspired his poems for independence and his return to live in Scotland and work for Scottish self determination.

 

Paul also recites new poems and a selection from his recently launched third book of poetry.
