I'm enjoying watching this -minute 26, so more than half way through, but I can help noticing that the only women participating in this fascinating debate have been the man's wife and a fleeting reference to Maggie Thatcher. This is no criticism of those involved in the debate but a reflection on the nature of Scottish society.
How many women have spent their lives researching Scottish history and how many do it nowadays? It is still a male dominated discipline with moves to get more women involved.
Most Women i know can't be arsed with politics or indeed History. I am intensely interested in History especially our own. Tom Devine has a keen eye for the ever changing face of Scotland and its people. His observations on sectarianism are as valuable as Peter Taylor's.
@@alanbbrady8196 Dear Alan, I'm sorry that my response to your Post might seem a bit late, but it's because I've just read it . Your sweeping remarks about women "not being arsed about politics and history", grabbed my attention. Who's politics? Who's history ? My immediate response by way of this Post, has the unintended effect of ensuring your words are now, proven wrong.
