Dr Morag Kerr talks on the Lockerbie case part of the Edinburgh Fringe series "Spirit of YES"

Talk with Q&A Morag Kerr was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland, in 1953, qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1976 (Glasgow University), continued post-graduate study in biochemistry and, having gained a PhD in 1985, went to live in England. In 2006, Morag Kerr returned to live in Scotland and teamed up with Adam Larson on the JREF forum where they shifted their focus to the December 1988 Lockerbie bombing A few years later, Morag Kerr managed to inveigle herself onto the committee of the Justice for Megrahi campaign group which has petitioned the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to open an independent inquiry into the 2001 Camp Zeist conviction of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi for the Lockerbie bombing.

Political Martyrs Monument with Murray Armstrong Gavin meets with Murray Armstrong to learn about Thomas Muir of Huntershill

To mark the 250th Anniversary the Father of Scottish Democracy Thomas Muir, Gavin will be meeting Journalist and Author Murray Armstrong to discuss his book The Liberty Tree, about the Scottish political reformer at the Martyrs' Monument : It was built in 1844 by architect Thomas Hamilton (1784 - 1858) to commemorate the five political martyrs of 1793, who were charged with sedition and transported to Australia for demanding legal and parliamentary reform. The monument is 27.4m (90 feet) in height and speaks for itself: It includes the following quotations: "I have devoted myself to the cause of The People. It is a good cause - it shall ultimately prevail - it shall finally triumph." Speech of Thomas Muir in the Court of Judiciary on the 30th August 1793. "I know that what has been done these two days will be Re-Judged." Speech of William Skirving in the Court of Judiciary on the 7th January, 1794.

NORDIC HOUSE with Lesley Riddoch Lesley Riddoch & Icelandic consul Kristin Hannesdottir

The Scottish Storytelling Centre will become a Nordic House during this yearâ€™s Edinburgh Festival with a multi-media exhibition of landscape art from all five of the Nordic nations. One of the most heavily visited parts of Edinburgh will become a visible symbol of Nordic/Scottish cooperation with all national flags flying together over the Royal Mile. The Scottish collaborating partners are the Scottish Storytelling Centre, architect, Lateral North Director and Nordic House curator Graham Hogg and Lesley Riddoch, broadcaster and Director of Nordic Horizons a policy group which brings Nordic specialists to speak in the Scottish Parliament. A Nordic Culture Fund grant allows the showcase of reproduced paintings, photography, apposite music and a makeshift Nordic hut to depict a small number of the landscapes to be found across Scandinavia including: Women at Sea â€“ women and families involved in fishing & farming on the Finnish Ã…land islands before WW2. Kaare Espolin Johnson â€“ Norwegian painter and graphic artist who produced striking images of people & seascapes, despite being almost blind. Johannes Sveinsson Kjarval â€“ an orphan and fisherman who became Icelandâ€™s most prolific painter using a variety of styles to depict landscape and lava formation. Vennelyst â€“ photos comparing the 1900s with today in Copenhagenâ€™s oldest allotment garden where families traditionally moved to live for the summer. Sweden â€“ photographs of Kiruna town, currently being moved to make way for iron mining operations. The collaboration aims to question the myth of an empty frozen North & explore contrasts and continuities with Scottish art & landscape. The Nordic House opens on Wednesday 29 July and closes on September 5 September with an afternoon of films about the two painters and talks from Espolin Johnsonâ€™s son Gisle and the Icelandic Consul Kristin Hannesdottir. There will also be a childrenâ€™s trail with Nordic soft toys and a find-the-animal quiz. The Storytelling Centre is located on Edinburghâ€™s second busiest pedestrian thoroughfare and has six shows daily during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and an estimated 11,000 visitors daily in peak summer months. The building is part of the John Knox House (Edinburghâ€™s oldest) and contains a bookshop, exhibition and CafÃ©.

KEITH VENABLES at Word Power Books A Manifesto for Independent Working Class Education

Facebook Button Directs through To http://www.word-power.co.uk/ A Manifesto for Independent Working Class Education is a new book from the IWCE. It asks what we can learn from the historic struggles of workers who demanded an education that suited their needs and to win the class struggle. It discusses the implications for today, including the breadth of those who are exploited by capitalism and a global scale. This new book by the IWCE Network both gives an historic account of those struggles but also sparks a debate about the way forward. KEITH VENABLES convenes the IWCE Network and the Congress of Presenters. He was a tutor at the Northern Trade Union and Community College.

Q&A session with MARK THOMAS at Word Power Books discusses 100 Acts of Minor Dissent

Event will be live only. Comedian Mark Thomas has been campaigning for over nearly three decades. He has remained uniquely relevant and agitated where others have mellowed and capitulated. One Hundred Acts of Minor Dissent is the brilliantly funny account of a year spent living provocatively. From successful campaigns against multinationals to protests against local park planners, from arts and crafts with porn mags to raising cinema workers wages, this is a wonderfully funny adventure. Rich with photos and graphics One Hundred Acts is also dangerously inspirationalâ€¦ MARK THOMAS describes himself variously as a confused liberal, activist anarchist, asthmatic rambler and fat Dad. He has previously published four books, including The People's Manifesto and As Used on the Famous Nelson Mandela. As well as winning many awards for his comedy performances, he has made six series of The Mark Thomas Comedy Product, multiple documentaries for Dispatches on Channel 4 and has performed at The National Theatre. In performing One Hundred Acts of Minor Dissent he campaigned successfully for trade union recognition for cinema workers, got a multinational to change their practices, brought 4 court cases and annoyed lots of people. He lives in South London with his family.

Lindsay Jarrett, Indy Climber During IndyRef, Lindsay famously climbed up the Edinburgh Castle Rock in the middle of the night and placed a huge Yes sign high up on the rock face for the world to see

An Edinburgh Fringe event: Inspirational Talk with Questions and Answers with Lindsay Jarrett - the Independence Climber who, during the Independence Referendum Campaign famously climbed up the Edinburgh Castle Rock in the middle of the night and placed a huge Yes sign high up on the rock face for the world to see - an unbelievable feat in itself but all the more remarkable when you think that Lindsay managed this despite her battle with Alpha-1, a rare condition which means she is only able to use 20% of her lung capacity and with her life saving oxygen tank strapped to her back. Remarkable, inspirational and humbling. Please come along on the evening to hear Lindsay's inspirational story not only about this amazing feat but about what drives her in life with her wonderful family and now in politics - and how she will continue to fight all the way to make Scotland a better, fairer and more caring country. Lindsay will also hold a Questions & Answers session so please do not miss this great opportunity to meet and to get to know Lindsay, to show our continued support and express our thanks to one of our true Scottish Independence heroes.

HOPE OVER FEAR: SEIZE THE DAY RALLY George Square, Glasgow. Lots of great speakers including Mark McGowan, The Artist Taxi Driver plus great music...

The Hope Over Fear campaign will not shirk its responsibilities. On May 7th 2015 we have a unique opportunity in Scotland to wipe out the blue, yellow and red Tories in one fell swoop. We can electorally punish those who lined up with the billionaires and millionaires to lie, deceive and bully our nation into submission. We are not too small, too poor or too scared to move forward into a new and better world and by uniting the pro-Scotland and anti-Establishment vote in May 2015 we can realise our dreams. Bring the family and enjoy another great day out while listening to the speakers from all political backgrounds and on the importance of using your vote wisely at the general election. There will also be many amazingly talented artists and musicians for you to enjoy on the day. In the words of Gerry Cinnamon's inspiring anthem of our movement, "Hope Over Fear, Carpe Diem". Letâ€™s seize the day in 2015. NOTE: Mark McGowan, The Artist Taxi Driver will be one of the speakers :) FACEBOOK EVENT: https://www.facebook.com/events/401561463337441/

BBC Bias Peaceful Protest #2 Around 1:30 - 3:30pm BBC Bias Peaceful Protest #2 - The People's Voice!

BBC Bias Peaceful Protest #2 - The People's Voice! Sunday, June 29 at 1:30pm - 3:30pm BBC Scotland Studios, Pacific Quay G51 1 Glasgow, United Kingdom This is a protest against bias from the self-proclaimed â€œimpartialâ€ BBC. The most important issue we need to highlight is the repeated omission of relevant facts, information & answers that has kept Scotland in the dark about the real independence debate. The BBCâ€™s coverage is ruining the run up to the biggest decision in our history. People are suitably sickened by the BBC & other mainstream media and their one sided conveyor belt of scare stories portrayed against our economic prospects, EU membership and the currency of an independent Scotland. Sometimes the bias is not in what they do cover but what they don't cover in their news & current affairs programmes. Specific examples of bias that concerns us are as follows: Make up of Question Time panels. Irish & Luxembourg EU ministers views misrepresented. UKIP promotion during EU elections. University of the West of Scotland report on bias on evening news programmes (BBC & STV) University of the West of Scotland report on bias on Radio Scotland Good Morning Scotland show The BBC's membership of the CBI which opposes independence and even tried to become an official member of the no campaign until a U turn after a mass cancellation of membership by Scottish companies. Different styles of questioning for Yes/No including more frequent interruptions from interviewers. The list goes onâ€¦ Let's keep up the pressure on the old BBC and arrange their next outing as a massive anti-bias operation! Bring your saltires, banners, balloons, friends, family and loud voices. Make it a day to remember! Everyone is welcome from both sides of the debate. Groups that wish to protest about other instances of BBC bias unrelated to the independence debate are also more than welcome to attend.
