Pearl of Tyburn: We have
Alastair Redman, from the Island of Islay, with us now. Hello, Mr. Redman.
Alastair Redman: Hello!
P.T.: Could you tell me a
bit about yourself and your background?
A.R.: I am a crofter’s
son on the Island of Islay, my mother in a nurse, one of my three brothers is a
fisherman, one works for the forestry and the other is a crofter like my
father. My girl friend is from the north of England, but was originally born on
Shetland. I run a small shop and post office in Portnahaven on Islay.
P.T.: How did you get
involved with Unionism, and why?
A.R.: I am proud to be
both Scottish and British, and I don't want to have to choose between the two.
P.T.: What does your British
identity mean to you, and what do you think it means to the world?
A.R.: It means that I am
part of country that is a force for good in the world, loved by our allies,
feared by our enemies, and respected by all.
P.T.: What would you say
to an undecided Scottish voter to keep in mind tomorrow?
A.R.: Being a unionist
makes you no less or more patriotic than a yes voter. Too often the Yes side
will claim that we are doing Scotland down by saying no to separation, that to
vote no is unpatriotic well they are wrong no one person or political movement
has a monopoly on what it is to be patriotic.
P.T.: What are some of
your personal interests/hobbies/goals in life?
A.R.: I love books, TV,
video games, some sports and politics. As for my goals we will see how this
referendum goes first.
P.T.: Thanks for sharing
your thoughts with me, Mr. Redman.
A.R.: No trouble.
