The start time is 7.00 for 7.30 at Royal Exchange Square Glasgow. More details here.








Are any of them BAME, LGBTQ+-XYZ or disabled? If you’re going to virtue signal you have to tick all the boxes otherwise some self appointed PC morality guardian on twitter will be offended and we can’t have that.
Congratulations on totally and utterly missing the point. Go away and have a little think then get back to me.
Very kindly, and quietly please just do one. Back to 1979 preferably.
Oh dear, a snowflake has been triggered. Perhaps you need a session in a safe space cuddling the therapy teddy?
What on earth are you talking about? Women are responsible for some of the best radio I’ve heard, they have made excellent colleagues during my time in the industry and I learned loads from several female news editors. Grow up.
Congratulations on completely missing the point.
