Independence for Greenock



18th September of 2014 has been decided for the Scottish separatism referendum.
The Socialist Courier companion blog suggested that if Scotland successfully got its independence there is no reason why Shetland or for that fact Castlemilk in Glasgow cannot demand its own sovereignty.
The film-makers too have taken on-board this possibility and have released a 10 minute mockumentary, The State of Greenock, a satire of an independent Greenock in the year 2020 with a local postman as its president. It won the first place for best entertainment at the Bafta New Talent Awards. There is the promise of a spin-off series.

The short video can be viewed on You Tube and is well worth a watch for a chuckle.
