New Scotland, old fears

Article Abstract:

There is now a strong atmosphere of creativity and enthusiasm in Scotland. The Scots have become much less openly critical of the English, and are now willing to acknowledge conflict between themselves. There seems to be no strong desire for independence in the new Scotland, and support for the Scottish National Party seems to be motivated mainly by the desire to issue a warning to the Labour party not to claim responsibility for the sense of optimism in Scotland.

Dancing to the bigot's tune

Article Abstract:

The issue of racism in Scotland is now beginning to receive much wider publicity. The Commission for Racial Equality is taking action against the owner of a night-club in Glasgow, Scotland, for allegedly turning away blacks and Asians, while ordinary people are also beginning to express their views about racism. Many ordinary Scots are also recognizing the need to eliminate bigotry from Scottish society.
