Inverness asylum, culture war and Russian threat to the north
from The Stooshie: the politics podcast from DC Thomson · host DC Thomson
From Russian aggression, to culture wars in the aisles of a Dundee Hobbycraft, this week’s Stooshie covers ground. We start with a catch up after Scottish Parliament recess and what we gleaned from a few days in Whitehall and Westminster. Defence is a hot topic, with German planes using RAF Lossiemouth and big questions about the threat from Russia off Scotland’s coasts. The team gets into the new plan to use an Inverness barracks as migrant accommodation – how are locals reacting? And we look at toxic culture wars on gender and freedom of speech, including a Tory “joke” about Rangers, and a gender rights row in a craft shop.
