Firebrand politician Tommy Sheridan to return to Kirkcaldy

Tommy Sheridan is due to return to Kirkcaldy on August 27 to set out his vision of an independent, nuclear-free, socialist Scotland.

The firebrand politician last visited the town in January last year when his seminal speech went viral on the internet, attracting over 166,000 views to date on YouTube.

This time, at the Old Kirk, Kirkcaldy, he will introduce Solidarity candidates for Mid-Scotland and Fife who will stand for the Scottish Parliament elections in May 2016.

Dysart man Bill Mair, Jock Penman from Kelty, and Colin Cuthbert from Lochgelly have been selected by the party and have pledged to fight a clean campaign, eschewing personal attacks and challenging opponents on policy and political activity alone.
