People in Aviemore, Shetland, Oban, Iona, Fort William, Glasgow, Stirling, Edinburgh … and all across Scotland joined with nations across the world in a global climate strike demanding action to halt the climate emergency that threatens the future of the human race.

    I notice there is a strong theme of demand for system change in these actions. This contrasts starkly with mainstream political ‘debate’ like the choreographed and constrained BBC television programme ‘Debate Night’ of 18/09/2019, where the first half was taken up with talking around a constitutional crisis with 4/5 of the panel Party representatives, yet somehow failing to address the issue of constitutional alternatives or virtually any system change unrelated to party advantage at all. We should welcome the commonly-noted ability of youth and fresh perspectives to critique and challenge the status quo, to shock scales from eyes and question why we are blazing this path to a planetary hell.
