royalty, assembled suitably by route to celebrate the occasion. but the highlight of the deal was something quite different. it was scott's thing or she no, wellington performing the burns anthem of universal equality under brotherhood of mine. that's ticklish or so on here with dying. i. 7 know that the food is that, so i need a what i'm going to be joined by the 1st of a broad some. yes sure. bottom country are really case got slime is. can pay them broadcast of play. you must of you watch that opening to the scottish parliament. we'll just see machine wellington, amounts of us to give you a buffer, a sub job. and susie, as i'm going to see the scott slide image and buttons injected into the ceremony, it was wonderful. and she was. ringback saying it was wonderful, the fact that everyone joined dan and you the was been passed it, but it should have been the most natural thing in the world to be in the center of the scottish parliament. that's the language that expressed of the majority of the population, the culture about history, that we 3 for many centuries. a. it's a wonderful choice of soul, a radical soul that goes back to the 7090 swain buttons was very aware that people would be in st. both and the b radical opinions of that time europe hunter's hell. but he persisted and wrote radical souls sometimes that were only published anonymously, newspaper, sometimes the one we published until after he died, the revolutionary a but he managed to survive, so it was is radical. it could be in that period and i think it's important to remember this was a period when 20 years later, june, the, the, the friends of the people, the planting of the tree of liberty in the 7090. a few decades later, we had the 1820 we've rule. when made the weaver again, well for a radical reform. and 3 of the weavers were hung for treason and stumbling beer caught, it cetera. so this was a period of extreme suppression, but it was hot to watch his back, or he could be in deep, deep trouble or could even be tried for treason like the men on the 17 ninety's or how aware were they, the friends of the people campaign else they had an ally a been, were in was buttons on the on the plan comes. 1 with it in 20, you know, some quarter century after bubbles there will they can, he was chanting buttons, lennox, as well as carrying banners, saying scotland fees a doesn't. how much was buttons part of the radical movement. it became quickly part of it. after is after these days, so by 1820 definitely. 1790. it was a popular quit. but because it had to keep his radicalism comparatively secret. having said that, he did, he was purported as having song, the french revolution of the song, se euro in the cool, a increase. when he also meet his, got an actress to read out the rights of women, which is a beautiful state, but radical statements for this period. well, europe's eye is fixed on mighty things that beat of empire on the whole canes. well, quacks of state, but each produced his plan and even children less the rights of mine, i missed my bus. just let me mention the racial women merit some attention. so of course, for him, a very clever poem and song, of course, and the sense extensively this is robert bruce, the hero, king of scotland, that the last thing has his army before the, on the eve of the battle of bonnet. but reality, the phrase is in it, which i call the cries, friends of the people, the liberty of every blow that sorta stuff. and once you reckon was consciously writing this as a, as a, as a rallying call for radicals. there's a lovely petition by ralph waldo emerson, the american writer, the confessions about the declaration of independence, the rights of mine, lamaster. yes, i'm no more weighty documents in the history of freedom than the songs of bonds. so that, for example, that's not high, they're not true when texas, who is up against it's mexican overlords. the proclamations had the words now was the d and knows the ira, which bonds 2 from blend hardy's wallace going back to the 14th and 15th century. so it's a radical statement going by a very, very, very many centuries. bonds themselves said that the story of wallace called the scottish prejudice and my beans, which will boil along be up till the flood gates of life shot in the tab no rest. and again, that was all missed reasonable about let's look at their defenders of the alamo in the story that they were, they were saying to tap isn't the music of, of course it's just true. i mean, i didn't see that in a john wayne foam. i've been, well they, well the really, the scottish nationalist, defending the walls of the alamo, will run a number of school. it's not the alamo and they would have been a we're all one. secondly, but that's a fascinating story. of course we, the tune is a pipes you that goes back to the days of robot, the bruce. and it was used at the siege of already owned by a personal bodyguard of the french kings. on june of us when the liberated that the city of all the own during the old alliance, and to this the, that shooting scores where he is a french military match. and it's cooled little mass, the so that they go by bruce or the mask e a t prolong clean cream filed is. yeah. let you sell hourly all the much clear than the occasion of june of ox triumphal entry into all the all. so as a french military march, you can hear and barely was his robe roy. and later barnes chose that tune because of the it's great association to write the ones of course we eat so linking bonnet, bomb, joan of the alcohol for lisa residences through through history buttons with what he was capturing these souls and setting them to towards like of scots were he, i mean, again, was a deliberate actor, was you know, the point to say, well, that square a suitable truth for my sentiments. you know, how much was buttons consciously a combining these things so much of the heading hand of buttons behind these. a fatherly historical accident, it was a highly educated mind for this period, and he was steeped in scottish tradition and scottish for clor. a. for example, when he wrote old lying science, one of the veterans he collected boys from saw them spin, going back a couple of centuries and it was for o, blindsided by joe or lang, saying we'll talk a walk to malaga for old lang site. referring to molly, go way, way back to the 16th century. so he was very, very conscious. a because of that too. i think the ache was the high don't through the ages and don't through and the other countries is fascinating. where you have people i g d. salinger in america with his novel cancer and that i based on a upon sol, you'll get stain, baycove mason, man aid. the title based on the baseline schemes are mason men gone? after glee saw it. it was someone who penetrated the life of the people in america . for example. abraham lincoln could quote, creeds of buns off by heart that he go through. i scored his friend of his. and he once memorably said that he wouldn't do the immortal memory in chicago because he could add nothing to the eloquence of robot bonds. and that's from one of the giddy order ups in world history. and then the other political extreme, you go to russia, know the popularity of buns during the soviet period is quite obvious. and he was promoted for these radical ideas. but his popularity was by far little, the not letterman talk translated some buttons. pushkin translated the scores ballads, so there was an interest in sports in scottish culture. and it was a man called samuel marcia who translated buns, brilliant lakes that made him very, very popular in russia so much so that the 1st country about to clean i stump of buttons was the soviet union in 1957. so we sent a bottles us loaded from moscow to michigan. we're not to exactly think of. so how do you think robert buttons might to this trouble? what old provide the points of unity in these times? well, i think we, i, school and global citizens should be reminding us ourselves, all his international brotherhood and especially off scores where he, that it really is time for about democracy to come to school. and for us to take more from the independence. i'm sure he supported a with a debt, so we saw back in the 7090. so i think these are important a commemorations that we should remember about bombs for today. and finally, really care about of many buttons suffer. so many locations, do you have a favorite quotation on a favorite instance that you'd like to tailor international audience about of only the world's point? well, i recall i spent a you traveling around the world and day one of them is bizarre. gonzagos was in a malea in the island of canine in a fisherman's hut. we have an eye from co holy moly whiskey that we brought to play and couldn't believe scotland and we drank. and i recited thomas and he sold you for cash. and we had an australian victim. we dishonest fill you in the corner and gave him our a button supper me for yes, a lot. but coming back to our minds of mine for all that you just kind of get the final bill once a month for that. then let us read that comment me as comment. well thought that since and was on the actual be of the get a you know a lot, but all that and or that that's come and get that mind to mind the world. i shall brother thought so, but it came it. we started with the right, some of them. i'm from a some of the brotherhood of mine. thank you so much for joining me, alex. i will show in the bottom season the best of the best join us after the break, when alex is joined by the former m p for both contin size there. sure jim sellers was see that ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except when such orders a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence. and the point obviously is to place truck rather than a, with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with obama protect its own existence with exaggerated rhetoric, massive arm shipments and endless threats. this is how nieto presents is asian of pan european security. meanwhile, moscow, away to the u. s. and its allies to respond to its demands and vision for the say. the status quo is montana. welcome back. and i special celebration of the life in white to scott men's national bi, drop it by weed examining the impact of points on radical political thought. alec seeks to form a labor, i'm the s and p n, p gen sellers. and i, we come to the, the 2nd, the broad semester, john sullivan. well, mostly the victim of the famous governed by election in the late ninety's. but before lot a label and p for so feel sure. no, i'm quite interested the gym. so as in the seventy's as a label i m p for so feel sure. you're kind of like the custodian of the political buttons tradition with their people said right. what of the above supper so, so let's get the m p for so feel, chillen? no, i don't think i personally i c m p for so feel sure was the custodian. in fact, the custodian was john polk your major figure in that you're sure socialist movement and didn't the scottish socialist movement, but as m. p for socio sure. you know, i didn't come in before. so feel sure, you know parachute and then i was born in i militia, pierce and issued his stick and robert bunch and the important so vm p for so feel shar, the beef association, the n p for ear. we're automatically trustees of barnes cottage with bows, was born right up into fairly recent times. and that was our responsibility that i do seriously. and to be fair, george younger who was a tory and p for it too seriously as well. we attended every meeting and made our contribution to maintaining the bombs cottage and wonders monument char, extremely important and cultural life of my home county and trying to from a national, the tall ammunition hash analyst. and that's because of the other 3. quite interesting. when george younger state for scotland, conservative or i, conan and scotland, and yourself as a firebrand labeled member of parliament. that when did you have any political tussles about bottles, you know was where you flee? quotations each other. just go on with the business of, of making sure that our cottage was being properly a preserve the presented. good. some people seem very strange, but not tories and scotland can embrace bottoms as well as social. it's like me. no number of source was friends who think this is a great puzzle, but of course one who is a minor many parents as well. and it's definitely possible if you're a tory not to buy into some of the things that he said, but not always by and you all are things that you said. and also of course, leaving a say just from the 2nd is political philosophy. when the man was a genius, as our poet and in so writing and in storytelling such as dumber shanta. so it's quite easy for a tory to my auntie barnes the same as for somebody on the. so that takes us right into buttons, his political impact and scotland over the last 2 centuries and mayor, it bums has been claimed successively fully empire lynn, for the label movement, scotland and then from scottish nationalist and scotland. is that because bonuses so sir? man of pimps all is that because that so we've learn more about the, the messages behind buttons is poetry from the information on the we're greet strands and scottish josiah j punting the idea of egalitarianism. what one's debt was it brought only strands together in my view and created a doctrine of egalitarian that if you look at the poem, my was me to more him when he says center, just wanted to to quarter what i designs on your lordly slate, by nature's law designed why he was at independent wash in, planted, and my mind. and of course, there are other poems where this peretti clear as david die he said when introducing a major watts of buttons, that he was a rebel against the social order that exist at that time. but it says consolidation of all those strands of egalitarianism that had made burns command and continued to command the scotty psyche. but now sympathy with wealth. having damaged the toting scots foil of the 20th century, he was lucky waspish of a button suppers, attacking the suppers with the privileges, got them together, had an evening of buttons, songs and, and radicalism, and then went off to exploit le. though what causes it that for the other 364 base of the of the of any sympathy him of mcdermott's condemnation. now i know that you hired the dell. it was quite right. i was went along high tory's room. i'm supposed and then going into boy walker, i never experienced on my part of it. and how about the other context and linda been supple that many buttons stop us on me and lonely? no. i think we can agree that and robert buttons have been organizing a button supper and it would be no chance whatsoever. that would have been man only . yes, yes, i noticed one of the papers this week that feminist movement has to have a good buttons for has misogynist ideas and, and, and practices. and robbie barnes was not a paragon of virtue. i mean one, so i've attended and spoken her. it's been made very clear, the older ones had virtues, and buttons had license an an enemy who wants to go, go, go at robert bunch to tim, down the statues and all the rest of it. i would advise him to read the epitaph now read it to you as they are my news judgment clear. can others teach the course to steer yet runs himself. life's mind korea way old as the we've here poets and go through a starting tear 10 degrees. no, well, this is a week asked robert bunch with all these contradictions. and yet not mine. higher d, social and political philosophy that is relevant to day and forms opinions to day and keeps opinions to day in scotland as who he was talking. yes. a final exam, so as well as cost bottles, anthem, national, and tampa. how would you assess buttons this impact plaza and a romantic poet based impact on political thinking? and the, what older people have got to be in made bunch was part of the scottish enlightenment . doesn't stand apart from that. he was part of the scottish enlightenment and i was recently reading a book on the founding fathers of the united states constitution. you're the great debate over fathomless people, which invoke hamilton madison and someone else of whose name at the moment i forget . but madison is called the father of the u. s. constitution. i'm the scottish enlightenment, wasn't just the enlightenment. it was the scottish enlightenment, which had the greatest influence on them, and that included the watson robert bones, goes as a contradiction there. how could you invade the gully, gideon as a robert buns. if you james madison well being a slave all the same time. this is one of these contradictions and has too many, many difficult for generation to come to towns was, but buns had an enormous influence. and later on, i think one of the greatest influence he had was on abraham lincoln in flight done . missus lincoln, abraham lincoln in mrs. lincoln intended, after he dimensions the presidency to come to if shop and visit bones cottage, missus lincoln managed it, and of course, it lincoln couldn't manage it with him. so as her from all the, the button suppers of all the, the buttons collections and poetry and songs, the other of any favorite of your own. yes. it's on a national victory. you know, we're, we're be celebrated. and buns, retort was you happy catch? alisha. thanks, tim. um domain and d gone sanks this vest for shame. mercy may follow god lonely d. thanks for mother. so jim saw of buns in broad what for his was which are opposite to today as the with 200 years ago. and man, thank you so much for joining me again. i'm alex, i'm unsure. well, i'm very glad to be here alec. and a link for once a day when you and i stand in the steps of the stories, parliament. and if it's no, she know how self somebody else sings that song that opened the scottish parliament in 1999. this time friend dependence to him. so if i can get given that bob dylan has say to drug brands in general, and my love is like a very, very tooth in particular. i said, major artistic inspiration, the scots, by states, just as a romantic port is beyond question. however, it was thought his lockport should kit lincoln and frederick douglas or more recently civil rights activists. maya angelou steadfast on their course or so brings the space on soviet stubs or inspired steinbeck to describe the struggles of the common man. it was bred the position in which lema co bonnie has described. it's the poet laureate of the radical enlightenment and with brains as a point, the champion of liberty on a quality which has captured the radical imagination for 1200 years, add mirror, and established robert burns. i've a friend of the people, a support himself, pet. the rank is but the guinea stamp demands the gate. but all that and what better way to player site than scott just thing or ryan binds performing one of his name a ah, this is the rival god, i go to storage safely at the federal reserve. are you sure it's still there or you don't forget it back? oh no, it's a recreation came where we get the rest. the 7 years this every year i've tried to report it's an open secret. the private military companies have been playing a role in arm conflicts, world wide. u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors and uses in places iraq or afghanistan, the united states army and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector. i would call the dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn, use so called sub contractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been charles soldiers, processes. i was a char. i was, as i drove professional, joe is he's with the whole one full quarter when i said that looked with no flaw, minimum own wall shit, which i want to be merciless killing machines. now they fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one or a dead soldier or dead moraine shows up in this country and we start asking ourselves, why did they die water? what were they fighting for? nobody bothers stamps about the contractors in. oh, now it shows the wrong one, all 3, just a whole new world. yes, to see how this thing becomes the answer to an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, with james all down through here, pulling this the larry over here. so your camps are always a little nicer than this. this is evidence of absolute poverty, just to mayor, people in our city and other cities all across america are living like this. where the original need and village that opened up in 2018 right now. there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with 31 homes and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness, and i'm just really happy. it made it bad. you with russia's foreign minister says that the u. s. has failed to address moscow's concerns about nato expansion, but added that the 2 sides can start a serious conversation about secondary issues. panic over the ukraine prices take the bizarre turn among western media with one outlet suggesting so named, rushing aggression is preventing you f o hunters from contacting air with anger. a terrorist with barricade clashes and multiple around $10000.00 people, including students and public.
