Quotes by Johann Lamont

Ive taught fifth-year Christmas leavers last thing on a Friday afternoon. Basically, if you can face that you can face anything.

I spent ridiculous amounts of time as an activist and volunteer and was a teacher for 20 years.

Scotland is my country, the nation that shaped me, that taught me my values. A nation whose achievements inspired and inspire me, a community whose failings drive me - drive my overwhelming desire to fight for social justice and equality.

There is a danger of Scottish politics being between two sets of dinosaurs... the Nationalists who cant accept they were rejected by the people, and some colleagues at Westminster who think nothing has changed.
