Bob opens a Saturday What The X on a communal doom scroll, then stays hyper-local before any geopolitics. Overnight gatherings at Calder and Sighthill after a knife incident are the hour: outside agitators he says the schemes did not need, and the argument that residents meeting about safety and housing are not the far right. He reads Jim Slevin on disentangling racism from a rational worry, and puts the tension on Edinburgh Council pouring money into tourism while communities are starved. Later the stream moves through Iran, a Workers Party selection for Edinburgh Central, and a plain case for voting even if turnout will be low. It closes on Jock Tamson’s bairns, a finger pointed at power rather than people, and the Flags outro.
