Trust matters
In this week's podcast we return to some of the key subjects we've been looking at over the past four years.
National Trust Scotland has found itself at the centre of controversy this week with its announcement of redundancies and the involvement of its controversial president, Neil Oliver,in the David Starkey racism row.
Lesley takes us, forensically, through not only this but sheds considerable light on NTS's role in land ownership, tax avoidance, and cultural representation.
We don't let Starkey off the hook when we re-examine his past utterances on all matters Scottish, and his obnoxious interview with fanboy Darren Grimes.
The border between Scotland and England,yes it does exist,has been a point of conflict over the past wee while, and was brought sharply into focus with the demo there last weekend and Nicola Sturgeon's willingness to consider closing it,if necessary. Just what does the reaction of the FM and her Justice Secretary to that protest and the plans of AUOB to stage strictly controlled "marches" say about the relationship between the SNP leadership and the Yes Movement?
There's also thoughts on Westminster power grabs, fruity fitba puns and a homage to the great Mel Blanc.
