@DugEatinBeetroot ,,,Well said Mr Dug !!! in many ways Scotland could just be like like Sweden, Denmark etc, independent. The main problen is religion, certain people adore the crown , certain people dont, so in essence the Union still stands, & the Irony is half of them dont even attend church, its such a yawn ey !!! ok mate cheers....

@AggiedeLampedusa Interesting view, i read the big yins book, thought it was very well written, just my opinion. Billy C is brilliant & so so talented, Aggie he only told the truth in his book, a cathartic purge if you will. OK Cheers & all the best.

@jinkysawers i would vote solidarity if it were not for the populist masses, as it stands SNP offer the best hope for scotland however I do not agree with all of their policies... I would be delighted to hear from other that are in the same boat as i, that believe that scotland is cabable of governing itself but that it is socialist reform that we need before it is possible. the rest of the world can govern itself - we dont need to concern ourselves with the,, let us fix scotland,

@jinkysawers Connolly is a sad person who would sell anything to make a few pounds - he has even sold what he says to be his sexual abuse. Everything for connolly has a price ticket. McGinn was a socialist, which Connolly never was - sell ma granny, or ma weans, of course I'll sell them

That was Adam McNaughtan singing at the end there on the "Magic Picture Show" so where was Robbie Coltrane - maybe just glimpsed him on far left at the start of the shot?

Matt McGinn was a better singer than Billy Connolly by miles. Funnier too.

He wrote a song for me in 1970 when I got engaged
Theres not too many people like Matt McGinn, Matt lived next close tae us on Ross St. in the Calton. Ive read his book, it`s really good , got some of his old tapes. Matt became so well read & inteligent, that`s what lead to his political Social views. Glasgow council stuck it to him big time, now we have people who are lightweights in most capacitys.
I was too young to know him & his brother James , though My Dad was great Pals wae them. But i sure sang his songs tae my kids. Matt was real.
