About

So stands Scotland where it did? Not on your nelly.
The professional classes in Scotland may be busy with Commissions, vows, deals, submissions and General Election planning but the wider Yes Movement is busy with huge spontaneous meetings involving hundreds, even thousands of people-gatherings like birds flocking before winter or starlings swooping to throw shapes into darkening skies. Because they can.
“Wee White Blossom” is a post-indyref, poppadom-sized version of “Blossom” for folk who've already sampled the full bhuna. It updates Blossom with a new chapter on “Scotland's Year of Living Dangerously”. Lesley Riddoch shares her thoughts on the Smith Commission, the departure of Gordon Brown, the return of Alex Salmond and the latest developments in land reform and local control. She considers the future of the SNP, the Radical Independence Campaign, Common Weal, Women for Independence and Scottish Labour in the aftermath of the referendum. This is a plain-speaking, incisive call to restore equality and control to local communities and let Scotland flourish.
