The Reid twins support Scottish independence and are Socialists as they transfered there political allegiance to the Scottish Socialist party after the SNP, whom they previously supported, started taking funds from big business.

I also heard that they have expressed support for Irish Republicanism but i dont know if this is true.

Was a fan back in the 80s. Love their first 2 albums. But then I forgot all about that band until the other year when they played at a free music festival in my home town. Their set was ok, but when they played 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)' half way though their set straight afterwards over half the crowd buggered off to another stage. :confused:
More fool them as they missed The Proclaimers best song 'Letter From America'.
