Beyond the Noise: Naming Scotland's problem with anti-Irish racism


THIS week, Jamieson is joined by Jeanette Findlay, chair of the Call It Out campaign to discuss the movement against anti-Irish racism and anti-Catholic bigotry in Scotland, and why policy makers have consistently misdiagnosed the problem.

1:10 - What issues is the Call It Out campaign seeking to a address. Does Scotland have a problem with 'sectarianism' or anti-Irish racism?

9:58 - Why do we discuss anti-Irish racism as a 'working class' problem rather than attack the consensus around 'sectarianism' in policy making circles?

17:14 - What's the difference between socialist and class based anti-racism and liberal anti-racism.

20:57 - Does Scotland need to face the role the British state has played in Ireland in order to come to grips with the real issues?
