No Compare

By Lesley Riddoch and Pat Joyce

As the General Election campaigns pick up pace we take a,somewhat sceptical, look at how Labour's policies are being ignored,particularly on the BBC, in favour of highlighting party in fighting. Lesley focuses on Labour's plan for public sector broadband and wonders if it could be a game changer. Inevitably this leads us on to the electoral debates, not just the exclusion of all parties other than Labour and the Tories, but ITN's stance if they'd lost court case taken out by the SNP and Lib Dems . In case you think we've gone soft we do get stuck into Corbyn and Scottish Labour's 1979 " SNP ushering in Thatcher" claims. Unfortunately we can't escape that Prince Andrew interview and we have our say on the sorry,sordid affair. Lesley is once again in demand for informed commentary on BBC Scotland's "Campaign". But only if she's willing to howk her way through to Pacific Quay when there's a studio just across the Tay,in Dundee. She wonders if this symptomatic of the BBC's exclusion of the diverse voices of Scotland. Along the way we also discuss the National Lottery, spam, and Catholic rap.
