Newsnet Scotland

  In this, our sixth instalment of the 'We are Scotland' video series Newsnet Scotland travels to Roslin to speak to Bruce.

Having travelled the globe, Bruce returned to Scotland to see changes, some good some not so.

Here he gives his reasons for supporting Scottish independence and offers some interesting contrasts with other countries he has lived in.

THINGS are afoot in England. A quarter of English voters now support Ukip – a right wing, populist party that has its roots in the values and nostalgia of Middle England.
 
Boris Johnson wants the income from council tax, business rates and stamp duty devolved to the London Assembly – perfectly justifiable, but a body blow to the argument the Union is about fiscal sharing, as the metropolis is the richest part of the UK by far.

Alan Bisset at the Augustine Church, Sunday 3 March 2013, talks about the cringe, culture, Scottish literature and how Scots look at themselves.

The talk was part of an evening on Scottish Self-determination & Independence.

Wales have been knocked out of the rugby world cup after losing to France 9-8 in the first semi-final.

The match though will be remembered more for a dreadful refereeing decision by match official Alain Rolland who sent off Welsh captain James Warburton in the first half for a dangerous tackle.

In keeping with our aim to provide, as often as we can, a full recording of First Minister's Questions, we have uploaded the latest session.

Many people are unable to navigate both the Scottish Parliament's own recordings and BBC Scotland’s online recording of the event, and thus Newsnet Scotland believes that by publishing here we make the event accessible to a much wider audience than would otherwise be the case.
