Politics

I am part of the generation that developed the idea that the personal is political and the political is personal so just about everything I write has a political angle. However, this link will take you to writing that is on explicitly political topics. Because I am living in Scotland, at a time when I and many of my countryfolk aspire to greater democracy and self-determination for our proud and ancient country, some of my political writing will inevitably focus on the struggle for Scottish independence. I have been involved in political struggles since I was a teenager and these straddle, anti-racist, Irish nationalist, land reform and anti-imperialist causes across the world so when the urge takes me, I will write about them here.
