Seasoned and well-liked Scottish politician, Jim Sillars, puts the case for a program that is both radical and feasible in the context of the Scottish independence referendum. Jim Sillars, born in 1937, started his political career when he joined the Fire Brigade. He became the Labour MP for South Ayrshire in 1970. Having lost his seat in 1979, he worked in South-East Asia before returning to Westminster in the Govan by-election as an SNP MP. The Govan seat was lost in 1992, and he worked as Assistant General Secretary at the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce in London. Sillars continues to write a column for Holyrood magazine and occasional articles for various newspapers.
