The first @lesleyriddoch Podcast of 2013

This week's podcast, the first of 2013, finds Lesley explaining the attraction of 'Borgen'. It's a surprise hit from Denmark that doesn't rely on grisly murders and car chases to capture the attention of its audience. Equally, as MSPs are set to review how to reduce the high rate of teenage pregnancy; the topic is a continuing source of concern. And then there is the economy... it all gets, well, ...spirited.

Life is too short to get the evidence collated together to prove to Chris that a job, any job is exactly what will destroy people.

Been there, done that. Got so many scars I'm more scar than human now, thanks very much.

You can only kick a dog so often until it won't get up again. How many more dogs does Chris think he can afford to send off to be kicked before he admits the class structure and power in this wee country is eating people up for breakfast?

I've crawled back into my kennel so often ye'll have a job on your hands to get me out of mine again. I've more scars than there is dog left of me now.

Very probably, if I dare come out of my kennel again, it'll be to dash to the airport with one-way ticket to anywhere that isn't Scotland.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you have to call it from where you are. My own experience has been different. I tend to agree with Thoreau " we work, not to acquire, but to become". Our journeys are unique and personal.

To take the triage analogy further, if you are continually trying and failing to stop the arterial bleeding without stopping at any point to ask why people are dying in such high numbers, then you are not just negligent, you are culpable.
