During National Service, he became a piper in the Cameron Highlanders.

In his book about the battle, he wrote: “We were not, as we first thought, just opposing a government. We were in fact opposing the whole mindset, which was itself a captive of international companies who were determined to use the Skye Bridge project as an experiment.”

Andy would become a key independence campaigner in the years that followed. After the referendum loss, he helped found the Scottish Currency Group, which continues to this day.

Three years ago, he founded the grassroots campaign Respect Scottish Sovereignty, which calls for decentralised direct democracy, allowing ordinary people to stand up for their rights against government authority.

Andy and Doreen moved to Saltcoats around a decade ago, before moving to their home next to Ardrossan Cemetery three years ago.

His daughter, Theresa Derbyshire, said: “He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago and he survived a lot longer than anyone expected. My brother and his wife stay with them in house and the whole family looked after him.

“We are expecting a lot of people to come from all over to pay their respects at his funeral later this month. ”

Andy’s funeral service will be held at 2.30pm on July 27 at the Holmsford Bridge Crematorium in Dreghorn.

Australia Supports Zionism!

Australia: Coals from Newcastle Feed the Zionist Beast! (13.11.2024)

Anyone remember the Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom who was killed by the Zionist entity in Gaza earlier this year? You would think the Australian government would hold the Zionist entity to account for killing it’s own citizen but until this day, there has been no accountability/retribution and better yet, they continue to be complicit in the genocide of our brothers and sisters in Gaza. What can you expect when this capitalist system values profit over human life even at the expense of its own citizens.

After speaking, he poured the liquid on his suit, set himself on fire, and fell down – and the union members next to him immediately took off their coats to put out the fire. Judging from the video, the fire was very big at the time, and with the help of the assistants and reporters present, the fire was put out. Erdeni was taken outside to ventilate. After a while, Erdeni walked back to the office not far away by himself. According to the doctor, Erdeni’s burn area is 30% to 40%. He is currently in good physical condition and mentally stable.
