Mhairi Black SNP Maiden Speech in the Commons | Channel 4

UPDATE: Underneath the speech video is a link to the BBC Scotland news report, or rather the lack or reporting on the content of the speech. Impartial when they want to be, eh?

Just in case you're interested. I've been a bit slim on the political front since the election - not because I've lost interest, but maybe on some level because I lost faith briefly. This kind of speech puts the faith back in me! And only 20 years old. Gives me hope for the next generation!

I will add that I'm sick of seeing the Commons empty when shit like this is going down! Always a case of preaching to the converted - it seems the people who need change the most are often the most reluctant to change. Here's  on the phenomenon detailing why some unskilled people perceive themselves to be more talented than they actually are.

On a related tip, here's an interview with Labour leadership hopeful Jeremy Corbyn by Krishnan Guru-Murthy, that Corbyn accused of stooping to sensationalist tabloid tactics. He's the man my money's on, in the spirit of progress - though most New Labour reformists will brand him as too old-skool Trotskyist, others have accused him of being a Liberal question-dodger. I think he's a Socialist.
