The Scottish Independence Podcast is back after a little break.For this 17th episode I spoke with poet Lorna Waite and we had a few topics of conversation.Firstly we speak about Lorna, herself and her work, and why she believes creating a division between the cultural and economic aspects of the Independence debate is a false way to go about things.We talked about the role of women in the Indy debate and also the more unpleasant colonial aspects of the union, and how we might combat the lack of self-respect that those colonial problems have created in Scotland.Language got a look in as we spoke about the historical suppression of both the Gaelic and Scots language.Lorna is also a Rangers supporter and in the second part of the conversation we moved on to talk about a topic that I began with Kris Kujawa in a previous podcast, and talked about how the debate is playing out among football supporters, this time specifically amongst Rangers fans.We didn't come up with the brightest prospects in that bit.LINKShttp://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/ScotLit/ASLS/SWE/TBI/TBIIssue12/Aberdein.htmlhttp://bellacaledonia.org.uk/tag/lorna-waite/http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/https://twitter.com/mgreenwell
