Nothing to lose but our chains - with Colin Fox SSP

Colin Fox, Leader of the Scottish Socialist Party, was one of three guests on an earlier show where we looked at non-SNP party responses to the SNP's election strategy.  

We had a fascinating conversation with Colin which covered much more than we needed for the original show, so here is the extended version of that conversation.  

Topics covered include:
