Three thousand people cheered the announcement of a “people’s vow” at the Radical Independence Campaign (RIC) annual conference in Glasgow at the weekend.

In response to pledges of further devolution made by pro-union politicians in September’s independence referendum, the vow includes an anti-austerity “people’s budget” to protect public services from cuts, radical land reform and opposition to fracking and atomic weapons.

In a passionate speech at the closing plenary RIC co-founder Cat Boyd called for “direct action” to stop fracking, and “an intensive campaign of civil disobedience” against Trident.
