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

Scotland: Tribute to Working-Class Hero – Mr Andy Anderson [1938-2026] – Former Cameron Highlander Piper! (2.7.2026)

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.

UK: Palestine Action Hunger Strikers Speak for First Time Since Being Granted Bail! (14.5.2026)

The group included four activists who had participated in a hunger strike against the proscription of Palestine Action and their treatment in prison. They told a press conference in London that they were subjected to medical mistreatment while in prison and are exploring legal avenues for restitution.

Heba Muraisi, 31, said she had to use a pillowcase as a hijab during prayer, as the prison staff at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, where she was held, took away her keffiyeh and refused to replace it with a different hijab.

Muraisi, who spent 15 months in prison, during which she was on hunger strike for 73 days, also said her body was “exposed on the street in the presence of a man” during arrest, though she did not give details. When Muraisi was sent to hospital for refeeding, after 30 days of her hunger strike, she added, she was cuffed to a male guard.

“They tried to force me to change out my clothes, meaning I would have to strip while cuffed to a man, vulnerable and exposed, waiting for this male guard to hand me my clothes,” she said. “There was a second guard who was female, but she refused to swap places with him.” 

Like other hunger strikers, Muraisi said that she was not given electrolytes — essential minerals that help muscles and nerves to work, which normally come from food — and that staff delayed granting her medical attention.

Trump II Encourages This Type of Racism!

US: How YouTube Acts the New “Slave Market” of America! (10.4.2026)

The way it works in the US is that the police are tasked with raising local government revenue. Much of this is through traffic violation. The police stop black people often on spurious and flimsy grounds knowing that they will resist. The resisting then becomes the reason for the detention and arrest. Notice that the original reason for the stop is then quietly dropped and forgotten about – as it would not stand up in court. Even if it did – the petty nature of it would only result in a modest fine. Resisting arrest, fighting with officers, and threats – attract not only hefty fines – but quite often prison sentences and criminal records. Complying would seem the logical choice as it involves the least overall risk – but we do not live in an ideal world. For a White American – this can be a pleasant encounter between community equals – but for non-Whites it is often the beginning of a nightmare and even result in the death of the civilian. Qualified immunity often means the offending officers receive little or no punishment.

UK: NHS Suspends “Black” Nurse for Misgendering [Convicted] “White” Paedophile – Who Called Her “N’gger”! (18.12.2025)

Jennifer Melle, 40, a nurse at St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey, was helping to treat an inmate from a high-security men’s prison when the patient complained she had misgendered them.

She said the patient racially abused her, calling her the n-word several times, while they were restrained in their hospital bed – after she refused to call them by their preferred pronouns, which she said goes against her Christian beliefs.

She was investigated and discipled by the hospital in October 2024 and suspended on full pay.

A referral was sent to the Nursing and Midwifery Council to assess her ability to practise in accordance with its code of conduct – which forbids nurses from expressing personal beliefs.

Ms Melle has since filed a legal claim against the Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals Trust for harassment, discrimination and human rights breaches.

She also criticised the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) after it failed to intervene in her case.
