If this was Glasgow then these gable ends would be covered in beautiful murals, but apparently Edinburgh is too conservative to permit such things and so has ended up with giant LED advertising screens instead...

Thank you Gerry for providing these hard truths about the current Scottish independence debate. I can feel it too. We need to take a new collective approach to the movement. Something is stirring, we just need some action now. The intellectual debate surrounding indy needs some new impetus.

Thank you Mike for always providing this important context and questioning of SNP policy and strategy. Scotland needs more big picture thinking, imagination and future focussed inspiration right now! The Indy movement can, and should be leading this, as the SNP appears to be lacking ideas here!

Thanks for the recommendation! The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test is one of my favourite books. Gus Van Sant was supposed to be making a film version of it but it never happened. The Magic Trip doc is also superb! 👏🏻

Also eagerly hoping there is something in Scotland! It's why we need the @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social back more than ever! Their David Lynch season a number of years back was superb...
