During the mid 1990s I spent considerable time down at the Pollok Free State and in the surrounding communities researching opposition to the M77 extension. This research was written up as part of my PhD in the Sociology Department at Glasgow University. If you look at my PhD – available in digital form from GU library – you will find a lot of extra useful information in chapters 4 and 5 in particular, as well as copies (in the appendix) of the Pollok Free State’s Declaration of Independence and degree certificates from the Peoples Free University of Pollok. You might include My PhD in your bibliography. regards, Wallace McNeish.
