Recess rewind: Hate crime, budget cuts and election fever

Listen on

Episode notes

Our team takes stock of a turbulent end of term at the Scottish Parliament.

We look at the reaction to the Hate Crime Act, and the high profile interventions from JK Rowling to Ally McCoist.

Meanwhile, there's an election looming - are social policy problems like housing making an impact?

And we speak to North East Scotland College principal Neil Cowie for a featured interview on the impact of cuts regionally and nationally.
