Summary

'The Wey Forrit' is a political work written in Scots which examines the current British political climate, with a particular focus on how the inner workings of Westminster affect Scotland and its people. Arguing from a left-wing perspective, Stuart McHardy meticulously pulls apart the long-standing political ideas and traditions which many citizens of the United Kingdom have automatically accepted as correct or justified, and challenges his readers to re-think the consensus. Focusing on some of today's most highly discussed and potentially divisive topics - such as Brexit and Scottish Independence - McHardy lambasts the 'peelie-wallie politicians and lickspittle journalists' who protect the needs of the rich and sneer at those outside the realms of money and power.
