The Lure of Greatness

Andrew O'Hagan's powerful statement on his journey from No to Yes kicks off the first part of this week's podcast. This allows Lesley and I to consider the siren song of a return to a mythical ,unified Britain of the past, if we leave the EU. The recent resignation of BBC Scotland commissioning and scheduling  supremo Ewan Angus raises the question of the potential for radical change at the national broadcaster.Will it be taken? We also reflect on the tragic events of Charlottesville ,the courage of the Heyer family and the moral vacuum in the face of fascism of Donald Trump.
