Bees in oor bunnits

The Lesley Riddoch Podcast - A podcast by Lesley Riddoch and Pat Joyce - Tuesdays

Categories:

Brexit,Budget,BBC, and Bolton are the bees on oor bunnits this week. However we buck the trend and begin,not with yesterday's Draft Scottish Budget, but the annulment and rerun of the election for Aberdeen University's rector.Trust me folks it's of more importance than we might think at first glance. However the budget can't be ignored and Lesley examines not only the facts and figures but what the reaction to, and coverage of, it says about Scotland. Plus we examine the performance of the key players during after the Parliamentary debate. This leads us neatly into our thoughts about BBC Scotland and does it live up to its pledge of not only entertaining but informing and educating? No week is complete without our two go to topics of Brexit and Trump( I could have slipped another B in there but fill in the blank yirsels). Adam Bolton's "You Irish" comments and flag issues frame our chat on Brexit and we heave a sigh of relief at Trump's pal Roy Moore's loss in the Alabama Senate election. Just when they thought it was all over we enter extra time as Lesley cuts loose on the barriers to community buy outs, focusing in particular on recent attempts by local folk to purchase redundant Church of Scotland kirks. No mentions of Dundee United this week( still top of the Championship btw) , but we digress on BBC NI's The Blame Game and cinema travelogues.
