I’VE SEARCHED every newsagent in Grangemouth, the site of Scotland’s biggest petrochemical plant, for a copy of the Morning Star, and in vain. How come?
The answer lies in Mark Lyon’s honest account of the Battle of Grangemouth, that took place between Unite and the new owners Ineos, under Jim Ratcliffe.
It is a painful but eye-opening story that comes halfway through If You Don’t Run They Can’t Chase You, a fascinating and highly readable collection of first-hand accounts “from the frontline in the fight for social justice’, as collected and compiled by the former MSP Neil Findlay.
