This week we talk to Ellie Harrison from the Glasgow-based Bring Back British Rail campaign. She is one of Britains millions of commuters and rail users that is fed up with being treated as a commodity by the privatised train operating companies. She begins by taking us through Southern Rail and the East Coast Main line disputes which are presently hitting the headlines then takes us through some of the failings of First Group who run the Bristol and West Country to Paddington line. Finally Ellie explains why she started Bring Back British Rail after moving from Nottingham to Glasgow and experiencing the difficulties of rail travel across several different franchise areas. http://www.BringBackBritishRail.org https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhgqjUbwBMg
Singer/songwriter from The Transpersonals band Tim Hurford joins us again to ask Are We Being Programmed By TV? Are those that run our television stations trying to use it to control people? Is it working when so many young people are switching their TVs off? We also discuss a YouTube clip from Tom who has a novel interpretation of The Eagles 1975 song Hotel California lyrics. You can check out any time you like but you can never leave is likened to the EU referendum vote. Tom links obscure messages in the hit single to Anton Szandor LaVeys California based Church of Satan. http://www.thetranspersonals.com
