In the second episode of In my Britain we meet the Scottish singer and theater artist Cora Bissett. With her, we make a journey through a fierce Scotland and we are looking for the deep-rooted sense of Scottish independence.
The Scottish theater performer and singer is a passionate supporter of Scotland's independence. Because it is time for the Scots to recover their own value and to make their own decisions with their self-earned oil money. No nuclear power, but a wider migration policy and stay within the EU. Even though the September referendum gave a no, many have not yet given up. A trip through Scotland, from Glasgow to Edinburgh to Fife and to an island that is already independent: the Isle of Eigg.
Original title: Het Groot-Brittanië van Cora Bissett
In my Britain... we see the island through the eyes of five quirky British people in 5 different episodes, each from a different place in Britain. Britain, once a world power, is increasingly falling back on itself. A large part of the British do not see salvation in the European Union and want to get rid of Europe. In Scotland, a large proportion of the population want to separate themselves from the rest of Britain. Where is the island drifting to? Where does it belong? Who are the British? With these five extraordinary guides, we are looking for the answers.
