unique, all great brands, pictures, immortal memories. the coat have a theme. and our program today is no exception. we look at burns, i'm radical political thought. alex is joined by tom bavinsy and author of scott's, the mother tongue billy quay to explain a little of life bone supper is a very special occasion. i know some of the great historical figures who fall and under the ports. we then stick to a former and p for both country in air. sure, jim sellers, a far been politician for 1st labor and then the s and p for his view on impact of points on radical politics and scotland and internationally. but post to your tweets, you know, if i messages in response to i should last week with colonel wilkerson discussing, whether the late general cooling power with the best president america never had an issue with his knowledge of her former prime minister. sir tony blair, prior committed britain to stand with president bush and knew about cor,

come what to me. danny says in terms of great peasants, america never had. i'd see bernie sanders too. although we'd probably like could be anathema to most with means, the under privilege trump base would hopefully come to realize the purpose of politics on government. john bisset safe in terms of the storming of the capital. their rates, bear with their weapons of mass destruction, stage political theater to keep the masses distracted. during the crusades and recent colon po, he lots about weapons of mass destruction lost all respect from when he took that. i wonder if you ever regretted thing it touch christopher response. yes, he publicly admitted his great for this steep, roberson says, the best patent usa never had was bobby kennedy. william thorburn says, bernie sanders would have made a huge difference to the usb and finally travail ward and safe. we know that tony is still fighting unsuccessfully to save his reputation. now when the scottish parliament reconvened in 1999, the newly elected parliamentarians were and by the out of stock,

receives college and royalty, assembled a route to celebrate the kitchen. the highlights of the day was something quite different. it was quite a thing or she know wellington performing the bones anthem of universal equality and the brotherhood of man. let's take a look for it all on here in the theatre with diane sawyer. oh, i didn't get a, i know that the food is that. so i need a what i'm going to be joined by the 1st of a broad, some short bottles. country billy kay scott's line is can pay them broadcast of play. you must of you want start opening of the scottish parliament. we'll just see machine to wellington. so yeah, i'm on a bus to give you for a sub driven through z. as i'm going to see the scott slide image and buttons

injected into a ceremony. it was wonderful and she was saying it was wonderful. the fact that everyone joined dan and you know, what's, what's been passed it, but it should have been the most natural thing in the world that's going to be in the same model. that's the language that expressed of the majority of the population, the culture about history that we 3 for, for many centuries a. it's a wonderful choice of soul, a radical soul that goes back to the 79. the swin bottoms was barrier. we're that people would be insane. the both the b radical opinions of that time europe hunter's hell. but he persisted and wrote radical souls sometimes that were only published anonymously and use people. sometimes the were the one we published until after he died, the revolutionary a but he managed to survive it so it was is radical, it could be in that period. thank you. some constant. remember, this was

a period when 20 years later of june, the, the of the friends of the people, the planting of the tree of liberty in the 7090s. a few decades later, we had the 1820 even rule when they leave us again for a radical reform. and 3 of the weavers were home for treason and settling beer cop is cetera. so this was a period of extreme suppression, but it was hard to what she's back, or he could be in deep, deep trouble or could even be tried for treason like the men on the 17 ninety's. how aware were the friends of the people campaign us? they had an ally, a been with buttons on the, on the plan, comes with it in 20, you know, some quarter century after buttons. definitely. it was chanting buttons, lennox, as well as cutting bottles, saying scotland fees

a doesn't. how much was buttons part of the radical movement? it became quickly part of it after the after these days. so 1820 definitely. 1790. it was a popular quit. but because it had to keep his radicalism comparatively secret. having said that, he did, he was purported as having song, the french revolution of the song, euro in the cool, a increase. when he also meet his, got an actors to read out the rights of women, which is a beautiful statement, radical statement for this period. well, europe's eye is fixed on might the things that beat of empire in the fall? ok, well quacks of state, but each produce his plan and even children list the rights of mine. i missed my bus. just let me mention the racial women merit some attention. so for here's

a clever poem and song, of course, in the sense that extensively, this is robert bruce, the hero, king of scotland addressing has his army before the, on the eve of the battle of bonnet mom. but in reality, the phrase isn't it, which i call the cries of the friends of the people, the liberty of every blow, the sort of stuff. and once you reckon was consciously writing this as a, as a, as a rallying call for radicals. there's a lovely petition by ralph waldo emerson, the american writer, the confessions about the declaration of independence, the rights of mine, i must say, yes or no more weighty documents in the history of freedom than the songs of bonds . so that, for example, that's no, no, it high, they're probably not true. when tax issue was up against it's mexican overlords. the proclamations had the war. now was the d and knows the ira. which bonds from

blend hobbies wallace going back to the 14th and 15th century? so it's a radical statement going by a very, very, very many centuries. bombs themselves said that the story of wallace called the scottish prejudice and my beans, which will boil along be up till the flood gates of life shot in the tab no rest. and again, that was almost reasonable about. let's look at their defenders of the alamo in the story that they were, they were saying to taki isn't the music of of course it's true. i mean, i didn't see that in the john wayne foam. i've been there. well the, well, the really, the scottish nationalist, defending the walls of the alamo will, who are a number of school. it's not the alamo, and they would have been a, we're all done separately. but that's a fascinating story. of course we, the tune is a pain tune that goes back to the days of robot bruce. and it was used at the siege

of already owned by. i got the crusade to court dubois, the personal bodyguard of the french kings, and june of art when the liberated that the city of orleans during the old alliance . and to this d. that shouldn't scorn what he is a french military match. and it's called the mass, the saw that there robert bruce or the mask, he 80 me prolong clean cream about this. yeah. lead to sell hourly or the much clear than the occasion of june of ox triumphal entry into orleans. so it's a french military mark. you can hear and barely was his robe roy. and later barnes chose that tune because of the it's great association to write the ones of course we each so linking bonnie bob jones. hark the alcohol or lisa residences for history. but when he was capturing these salts and setting them to, to was like of scots were, he, i mean, again,

was as a deliberate actor was, you know, the, the point to say, well, that square a suitable shooting for my sentiments. you know, how much was buttons consciously, a combining these things so much of the heading hand of buttons behind these a fatherly historical accident. it was a highly educated mind for this period, and he was steeped in scottish tradition and scottish for clor. a good example when he wrote old lying saying, one of the veterans he collected boys from saw them spin, going back a couple of centuries and it was for o, blindsided mature, for all lying, saying will pack a walk to malaga for old lang site, referring to molly, go way, way back to the 16th century. so he was very, very conscious. a because of that too. i think the acres the hard don't through the ages and don't through into other countries. is fascinating. where you have people i, j. d. salinger in america with his novel cancer in the right,

based on a problem. so you've got a stain bag of mason men. a title based on the baseline schemes are mason men, gun after glee saw it was someone who penetrated the life of the people in america. for example, abraham lincoln could quote screeds of buns off by heart, but he go it through. i scored his friend of his and he once memorably said that he wouldn't do the immortal memory in chicago because he could add nothing to the eloquence of robot bonds. and that's from one of the auditors in world history. and then the other political, she, me of go to russia. the popularity of buns during the soviet period is quite obvious. and he was promoted for these radical ideas. but his popularity was by far that will not let them talk translated some buttons. pushkin translated the scores

ballads, so there was an interest in sports and scottish culture. and it was a man called samuel marcia who translated buns, brilliant lakes that made them very, very popular in russia so much so that the 1st country about to clean i stamp all buttons was the soviet union in 1957. so we sent a buttons a slot in from moscow to michigan. we're not to exactly think of. so how do you think robert buttons might to this trouble? what old provide points of unity and these times? well, i think we, i, school and global citizens should be reminding us ourselves, all his international brotherhood and especially old scores where he, that it really is time for bad democracy to come to scotland. and for us to take more for the independence. i'm sure he supported a with a deck so we saw back in the 1790. so i think these are important

a commemorations that we should remember about buns for today. and finally about of many buttons suffer. so many locations, do you have a favorite quotation on a favorite instance that you'd like to tailor international audience about of only the waddell's point? well, i recall i spent a you traveling around the world and day one of them is bizarre. gonzagos was in a malia in the island of canine. in a fisherman's hot, we're my allan, i from coma half of all over mo whiskey we brought to play in molest scotland. and we drank. and i recited thomas and he, so you for in case. and we had an australian victim, we just saw in a still even the corner and gave him our a button. so call me for your satellite. but coming back to our minds of mine for you just kind of get back up with the final bill of mine for that than later 3 that

comment me as comment well for or that that sense? and was there on the actual be of the gideon or not, but all that and or that that's come and get better. what that mind to mind the world i shall brother thought so, but i came here. we started with the rights of women and were from a some of the brotherhood of mine. thank you so much for joining me in there. alex, i'm unsure this button season. the best of the best join us after the break. when alex is joined by the former m p for both contin size there. sure, jim saelens si that and so now for the past couple of decades, the solution was i was print more money now that the money printing is causing real inflation and exacerbating all the problems. that solution is only going to make the problem worse. but of course, that's what they'll do. that's what the lease will do. that's what they plan to do . any inconvenience that falls them,

they will answer what we need to print more money, more money and the food will get in shorter supply and workers will disappear and the situation get worse and worse because it doesn't have money printing them to work with chance all down through here, all in this larry over here. so your claims are always a little nicer than this is evidence of absolute already despair. people in our city and other cities all across america are living like this. where the original need and village that opened up in 2018 right now. there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with 31 homes and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness line. i'm sure i know you with

well, come back. not in i special celebration of the life and where it says scotlands national bi, drop it binds with examining the impact of burns on radical political thought. alec speaks to form a labor. i'm the s and p and p jim sellers. and i will come to the the 2nd half of brawl on semester ansel of sa, obviously the victim of the famous governed by election in the late 19 eighties. but before lot a label and p for sophia. now i'm quite interested the gym. so as in the seventy's as a label i m p for sophia, so we're kind of like the custodian of the political buttons tradition with them.

people said right what of the above supper? so let's get the m p for so feel shannon. no, i don't think i personally i c, n p for sophia was the custodian. in fact the custodian was john polk your major figure in that you're sure socialist movement and didn't the scottish socialist movement. but his m p for so say a sure, you know, i didn't become in be for socio show, you know, parachute and then i was born in ear. i money a ship best. and if she was steep and robert bunch and the important, so the m p for so fear shark the n b for so here sharon, the n p for here, we're automatically trustees. all burns cottage trail bows was born right open door fairly recent times. and that was our responsibility that i to

seriously and to be fair, george younger who was a tory and p for it too seriously as well. we attended every meeting and made our contribution to maintaining the bottoms cottage and wonders monument char, extremely important and cultural life. oh, my home county, and fright. if i'm a nationalist at all, i'm in the ocean nationalist and that's because it still has to be quite interesting when george younger state to state for scotland, conservative i call in and scotland and yourself as a firebrand labeled member of parliament. when did you have any political tussles about bubbles? it was where you flee quotations each other on the just go on with the business of, of making sure the allowing cottage was being properly. it preserved and presented it to some people who seem very strange. but you know,

tories and scotland can embrace buttons as well as sorcery. slight me, no number of sources, friends who think this is a great puzzle. but of course one who is a minor many parents as well. and it's definitely possible if you are a tory not to buy into some of the things that he said, but not alleged by angela. things that he said. and also of course, leaving a say just from the 2nd is political philosophy or in the man was a genius as our poet. and in so writing and storytelling, such as dumb rashonta. so it's quite easy for a tory to buy into bonds. the same as for somebody on the left. so i pace us re enter buttons is political impact and scotland over the last 2 centuries and mayor . it bonds has been claimed successively for the empire, lynn,

for the label movement in scotland and then from scottish nationalist and scotland . is that because bonds are so sir? man of parents all. is that because that so we learn more about la la messages by buttons is poetry from the information on the we're greet strands and story society, punting the idea of egalitarianism. what ones debt was it brought all the strands together in my view and created a doctrine of egalitarianism. if you look at the poem, my was me to mourn. when he says center, just wanted to to quarter. when he designs on your laundry, you slate. by nature's law designed why he was an independent welsh in planted and my mind. and of course,

there are other poems where this peretti clear as david die he said, when introducing a major, what's the ones that he was a rebel against the social order that exist at that time. but assess consolidation of all those strands of egalitarianism that had made buttons command and continued to command the scott scott spoil the 20th century. he was fucking waspish of a button suppers, attacking the suppers with the privilege of got them together, had an evening of buttons, songs and, and radicalism, and then went off to exploit the, the what causes event for the other $364.00 days of the of the, of any sympathy him of mcdowell months. condemnation. now i know that you hired the dell. that was quite right. others went along high tori's room supper and they go and enjoy walks. i never experienced my masturbation. and how about the other

contradiction? lena buttons suffer that many button suppers on me lonely? no. i think we can agree that and robert buttons have been organizing have been supper, and that would be no chance whatsoever. that would have been man only. yes, yes i, i noticed one of the papers this week that the feminist movement has to have a good buttons for has misogynist ideas and, and, and practices. and robbie barnes was not a paragon of virtue. i mean one suffers i've attended and spoken her. it's been made very clear that one's had virtues. unbuttons had vices an enemy who wants to go to her, go at what months to tear down the statues and, oh, let's do it. i would advise him to read it off. now read it t as the to my news judgment clear. can us teach the course to

steer, yet runs himself, lives might korea way old as the we've here poets and go through a starting t 10 degrees. you know, well this is louise ice, robert buttons with all these contradictions. and yet not mine, heidi social and political philosophy that's is relevant to day and forms opinions to day and keeps opinions today in scotland as though he was talking. yes. a finance i'm so so less cath buttons until nationally and tampa and how would you assess buttons is empire as a romantic point based impact on political thinking. and the, what older people have got to be in made that bunch was part of the scottish enlightenment,

doesn't stand apart from that. he was part of the scottish enlightenment. and i was recently reading a book on the founding fathers of the united states constitution. you're the great debate over federspiel, which involved carlton madison and someone else whose name at the moment i forget. but madison is called the father of the u. s. constitution. i'm the scottish enlightenment, wasn't just the enlightenment. it was the scottish enlightenment, which had the greatest influence on them. and that included the walks of robert bunch goes as a contradiction there. how could you baby egalitarianism of robert bonds if you are james madison? well, being a slave one of the same time as one of these contradictions in hester, very difficult for generation to come to terms was,

but buns had an enormous influence. and later on, i think one of the greatest influence he had was on the behalf with in flight done, missus lincoln, abraham lincoln, and mrs. lincoln intended, after he dimensions the presidency to come to if shop and visit bones cottage, missus lincoln managed it. and of course, abe lincoln couldn't manage it with him, so as her from all the bus suppose of all the, the buttons, collections and poetry and songs. the other of any favorite, if you don't. yes, it's sad. it's on a national victory, you know, will be celebrated. and buns, retort was you happy catch? alisha. thanks tim. um domain and d gone thanks. disaster for shame. but see me follow. god

won't g science from the gym, so of buttons in broad with for his was which are opposite to today as the with 200 years ago. and man, thank you so much for, for joining me again. i'm alex, i'm unsure. well, i'm very glad to be here, alec, and a link for once a day when you and i stand in the steps of the stories parliament. and if it's no, she know herself, somebody else sings that song that opened the scottish parliament in 1999. this time for independence to so if i can get given that bob dylan has said to drobek, brands in general and my love is like a very, very tooth in particular. i said, major artistic inspiration, the scotch bide status as a romantic port is beyond question. however, it was thought his love port should kit lincoln and frederick douglas are more

recently civil rights activists. maya angelou steadfast on their course are still going for space on soviet stubs or inspired stain back to describe the struggles of the common man. it was brains, the position in which lema co body has described the poet laureate of the radical enlightenment and with brains as a poetic champion of liberty on a quality which has captured the radical imagination for 1200 years added mayor and established robert burns. i have a friend of the people or support himself, pet. the rank is but the guinea stamp demands the gate that or that. and what better way to player site than scottish thing or ryan binds, performing one of his main 6 most iconic with

ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way, or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.

there may or may, we should all be may or may, we should all be angry or was more all right. can understand united states history, understand the role that slavery play is already a very formal institution. at a time united states became a nation. it actually find the nation. the rise of capitalism is clearly on the backs of flight and it's laid down if you investigated lynchings. any great extent . you can believe that a country and a country still stands in brick. i'm from the south. everybody know, know what they're saying. to some extent, i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war and the south is winning with

ah, they're too fat to the fanatic one, but also a passive defense and deterrence. the u. s. and nato mixed talk of diplomacy with threats after they submit that written response to russia's security red aliens with to visit earth because of russia's alleged invasion plans. the western media appears to lose the plot of ukraine publishing a host of absurd and inaccurate stories about the trunk. nothing usually speaks with us vaccine x 30 explains why certainly they is better than pfizer when it comes to attacking the comments on the drain. i would prefer to be less than a lie. i will, he now was when all the minute.
