What The X

About the show

Auto-generated captionsTimed from 0:19 to 1:33:35.

Bob is on his own on Friday 24 October, fighting a dying stream phone he takes as a metaphor, after opening on Melroze’s Leroy. He moves from a Bloody Sunday whitewash, where a t-shirt can get you arrested and a murderer walks, to Starmer’s digital ID and the question of why anyone still has to prove who they are. The middle of the hour is Gillian Mackay’s Green map meme, which he calls Fisher Price politics with a Palestine flag stuck on, and a defence of campus protest against Euan McColm’s cynicism while Gaza gets left to students and liberals. Polanski’s Greens are Songs of Praise, digital ID is sold as making life easier, and three Glasgow councillors heading toward a sold-out Maryhill night close the politics. He plays out on Hugh Reed’s Sailing on the Waverley.
