Listen "Frankly My Dear"
Episode Synopsis
Nicola Sturgeon and her book is absolutely everywhere with the press full of the tiniest revelations. We have a look, neither of us having read the book, but take a look at really what's sitting behind some of the more serious revelations, particularly over the wisdom of pressing on with the gender recognition reforms, and behind the scenes, what was really happening. We ask the whether we going to learn anything that helps us with creating a more democratic country in Scotland that isn't so reliant on leaders and top-down instruction through all of this? Or just promote Nicola Sturgeon's book sales?All of that and news from the big wind farm convention that was held in Inverness where Lesely was present making a new film.Are these guys just NIMBYs who need to knuckle down and accept the hardware the same as everyone else for the green transition? Or has planning for it and democracy about it just gone completely out the window? And some culture from Fèis Rois.LinksNicola Interviewhttps://www.itv.com/watch/news/nicola-sturgeon-reflects-on-her-arrest-and-her-trans-policies-in-exclusive-interview/7qr93nfFèis Roishttps://feisrois.org/Robin McAlpinehttps://robinmcalpine.org/this-is-the-one-tall-tale-that-matters/https://www.thenational.scot/politics/25385625.wholly-political-campaign-independence-terrible-idea/Shona Cravenhttps://www.thenational.scot/politics/25382339.lessons-must-learned-loss-rationality/
