Synopsis

What lies behind the tartan curtain? Did the rough winds that blew through Scotland move anything or has it simply died away leaving destruction and ruin? What is the future for Scotland in the light of the Referendum s awakening? Roch Winds guides us through the rocky terrain of Scottish politics, following the rise of the SNP and the fall of Labour, with a focus on the unprecedented political dominance of the Scottish National Party in Scotland in the wake of the storm that blundered through the country. The authors provoke debates regarding the intent behind the parties of the UK. Through their own experiences within the parties for independence and the Labour Party, the authors discuss the radicalism that Scotland s needs if anything substantial is to be achieved. Dripping in dark humour, the authors dissect the politics of their time in order to reveal their own thought provoking opinions on the masks that are worn in politics.

À propos de l'auteur

Rory (24), Amy (23) and Cailean (25) form the Roch Wind Collective. They have been writing together since 2013, and have left few stones unturned in their attacks on every aspect of the Scottish Establishment. Cailean studied at Oxford University, where he founded the Oxford Left Review, before working as a Labour and trade union organiser for Yes Scotland and then for a socialist Labour MP. He is now studying and working for a trade union in London. Amy studied at Glasgow University, and is currently at St Andrews University. She has worked for multiple third sector organisations, particularly those concerned with tackling violence against women. Rory studied at the universities of Edinburgh and Sussex, and was co-founder of the pro-independence campaign group National Collective. He now works as a researcher and campaign organiser in Edinburgh. All three are revolu-tionary socialists and members of the Labour Party.
