Description
All roads lead home. ‘After my knighthood was announced,a woman from the BBC came toGlasgow to interview me. We satdown in a lovely hotel in a nice partof town, and she hit me with her first “This must mean a lot toyou, with you coming from nothing?”I looked at her, and I laughed. “I did’nae come from nothing,”I told her. “I come from something.” I grew up in the tenements ofpost-war Glasgow. I am very proudto be working class, and especiallya working-class Glaswegian whohas worked in the shipyards. I comefrom the working class. And, mostof all, I come from Scotland. Scotland is a unique and wonderfulplace. Its national motto saysa lot about Nemo me impunelacessit . A decent translation might ‘By all means punch mein the nose but prepare yourselffor a kick in the arse.’ I did’nae come from I come from Scotland. And thisbook is about why I will always behappy and proud that I do.’
