His wife, Lorna, is thinking of scattering his ashes on the field of Bannockburn where he was howled off the mike by an "apolitical" group. His wife Lorna, a retired nurse, had to take him home. This was his last pubic appearance.

Would have been Che Guevara's 84th Birthday
Yesterday would have been Che Guevara's 84th Birthday....A great Revolutionary who fought to his death to stamp out Capitalism and poverty, Che traveled throughout Latin America and was radically transformed by the endemic poverty and alienation he witnessed. His experiences and observations during these trips led him to conclude that the region's ingrained economic inequalities were an intrinsic result of capitalism, monopolism, neocolonialism, and imperialism, with the only remedy being world revolution.

Britain's Secret War - Errata by Donald Anderson
Britain's Secret War: Tartan Terrorism and the Anglo American State
By Andrew Murray Scott & Iain MacLeay Sutherland
ISBN 1-85158-313-0
Errata by Donald Anderson
Iain MacLeay Sutherland interviewed myself on several occasions at my home and in pubs. Unfortunately, he never took any notes. I gave him an errata at the time of the publication, which he accepted and said he would correct the mistakes should there be a republication. To date, this has not happened. This is why I have now decided to put it online. I have lost my copy, though he should still have his, as did others. I gave a copy to him at the time. I am now revisiting this and making amendments from memory,
The full errata can now be read at the link below.

Bannockburn 2012
Saturday June 23. 1.30 pm from the 1314 Inn to the Rotunda for short speeches and back to the 1314 for Scoriach Admission free. Raffle. Proceeds to the group. "Freedom's Flame".
Billy Kay, broadcaster, author and journalist, who specialises on the Scots language, will speak at the Rotunda. Others to be confirmed. Any groups wanting a speaker please let us know ASAP.
The Tartan Arms social is always later, in the village of Bannockburn, with Ted Christopher and Gaberlunzie, organised by the local SNP, who will have Tartan Arms tickets, £15, on sale in the 1314 Inn.
There is a bus from Glasgow, 10.45 am, North Frederick St, George Square. £10. Children free. The bus will leave the 1314 Inn at 7 pm. Those staying for the Tartan Arms will make their own arrangements to get home. Some find it a long day and the aim is to try and please as many as possible. All are welcome.
It is important for all disparate groups to Unite behind the YES campaign and build it up. It will be a long slog with the whole establishment and their agents against. The SNP managed to win a thumping majority, despite having the whole media against them, plus establishments such as the Anglicised Universities and Colleges and their paid perjurers making sure our teachers cannot teach what they are not themselves taught: Scottish history. That is why it is important to try attend as many of these events as we can, as well as making it as enjoyable as possible.
As posted on a public forum by Donald
Here is the link to the Bannockburn Ceilidh held every year in the Tartan Arms Bannockburn by the local branch of the SNP. There is a phone number where you can book your tickets.
