YOU know what it’s like …
Waiting ages for a bus then four come along at once.
Well, I hadn’t had a broadcasting gig for a while and in the past week I’ve had two.
In the first, on John Drummond’s TNT (The Nation Talks) show, I was a late replacement for one of the best known members of Scotland’s legal establishment, Aamer Anwar, but I thought it was interesting, especially with the variety of questions coming from online viewers.
TNT is here:
The second was the following night at Civic House in Glasgow, where members of the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) hosted a meeting with their president Elisenda Paluzie.
ANC is the pro-independence grassroots group which has organised some of the memorably massive marches of recent years (pre-pandemic) in support of Catalan independence.
The group has a network of international brnaches, including one in London and another in Glasgow.
Ms Paluzie and I were joined there by broadcaster, journalist and author Chris Bambery, who has written a number of books, including A People’s History of Scotland, and Catalonia Reborn, which he co-wrote with George Kerevan.

Now it’s back to waiting for the next bus.
