Apple Podcasts5Mercurius_ScotUnited Kingdom2 years ago - The Scottish Devolutionists
Tom (that’s a really good question) Leeman strikes again! A thoroughly good probing of a great guest certainly stimulates the mind. What is there to be gained or lost from Scottish independence? Is devolution a good enough position for Scots?
If you have a smidgen of interest in the future of the United Kingdom, I urge you to listen to this. Jack McConnell presents an even-handed approach to the arguments which are fascinating.
Keep it coming!
