With John McHarg speaking about Scotland, Jagdeesh Singh on the ecological denigration of the Punjab and Eric Joyce on the anti-independence “professor” who isn’t quite what he seems...

With a hat tip to Neil Anderson for his work with sound effects, and Neil Scott for pulling the entire thing together.

Today we do something historical.

As a Scottish lefty media hub We are going to take NO editorial lead & allow you to make up your mind in #POTUS2016. Our contributers are going out unedited- their views- their analysis. Some agree, some don't. 

Different left views, Ungagged!

A new approach on the left. Respecting all left views and allowing them a voice. Passing no editorial judgement.

YOU decide. You hear the evidence, and if you are a citizen of the USA, you decide.

Fasci... Tory Party Conference Special

This is an unscheduled, bonus podcast, because here at Ungagged we couldn't just let the vile rhetoric pumping out of the Tory party conference go unanswered or unchallenged.

Featuring Matt Geraghty, Debra Torrance, Victoria Pearson, Eric Joyce,  Steve McAuliffe, Amber Daniels and pulled together, as always by the inimitable Neil Scott.

With music by
Thee Faction with Conservative Friend
Vodun with Bloodstones
And
Dream Nails with DIY.

Debra Torrance

Debra Torrance is the youngest daughter of a bookkeeper and a butcher. A late baby, her parents were preparing to become Nanna and Pops not new a mum and dad again.

Debra was brought up in the east end of Glasgow and moved around Scotland from the highlands to Fife before settling in Milngavie. She has lived on the other side of the world and the other side of the Clyde.

A digital artist who studied as a 3D animator at uni, Debra can turn her hand to just about everything, from digital design and production to photography.

Debra also finds time to play wheelchair rugby for Caledonian crushers, the only wheelchair rugby team in Scotland. All of the players have various impairments on at least three of their limbs and, as a relatively high function player, Debra plays attack. She wrote a piece for the MS Society recently where she described it as chess with a ball, if the pieces were manually pushed big heaps of highly engineered metal wheelchairs. You can read it here.

When she has some downtime, Debra and her girlfriend like to go out exploring castles, standing stones or good restaurants of Scotland. They love Arran in particular. If Debra had to emigrate to any country it would be Iceland.

A politically minded, rebellious, LGBTQ, anti-trident, anti-austerity, republican, and Jedi, Debra is a natural history enthusiast, lover of maps and self-confessed geek. She can spend hours looking at google earth and can’t walk past a Burns at an antique book fair without buying it.

 Debra likes a blether.
