Shotlist: Webcast of a panel discussion in Glasgow about the possibility of a new radical socialist Scotland after independence, chaired by Cat Boyd and featuring speakers Jane Shallice, Ewa Jasiewicz, Jennifer Nelson, John Davidson and Jonathon Shafi.


"The Westminster establishment are in the throws of a huge crisis as the people of Scotland look towards a Yes vote as an alternative to the austerity consensus. After decades of neoliberalism, privatisation and war, September the 18th offers us a platform to build an alternative. This is an opportunity not just for the people of Scotland, but for the movement across the rest of the UK. This meeting will present solidarity from activists involved with the left wing Red Pepper magazine in our campaign for a radical Yes, and a Peoples Scotland. Speakers Jane Shallice: Politically active since the 60’s when protesting Vietnam. Since then has been involved in trade union organising and anti-imperialist action with Stop the War Coalition. With theatre experience, Jane has a creative approach to politics and has long been a contributor to Red Pepper magazine. Ewa Jasiewicz: Campaigner and writer. Heavily involved in the fight against fracking and in the news recently for occupying the roof of a UK based Israeli arms factory. Also involved in anti-capitalist campaigns, Fuel Poverty Action, No Dash for Gas and has worked as a union organiser for Unite. Jennifer Nelson: From Merseyside, now living in London to work full time for Red Pepper magazine. Has experience of various political campaigns, charity work and independent media projects. John Davidson:An independence and trade union organiser in the PCS and a member of trade unions for Yes.Jonathon Shafi: A Co-Founder of the Radical Independence Campaign." [event publicity]
