There's a bit of a protest theme in this week's podcast. Obviously, the Gaza-Palestine demonstration at the weekend. I was speaking at it. There weren't arrests at the time, but could they be yet to come? There was also, if you like, the protest of Richard Murphy on Radio Scotland interrupted continually on a programme about bias and trust.

There's the rebels who've been booted out of the Labour Party.

Not all the rebels that voted for axing the welfare cuts that Keir Starrmer proposes.

So kind of fishy and likely to provoke more dissent within a party that's now polling about the same as the new left-wing party created by Zara Sultana.

We talk about Trump and his potential comeuppance over his connections with Jeffrey Epstein.

Forget to even mention that he's coming to Scotland.

We'll take that next week. And have a

wee tribute to Dick Gochen, the master of Scottish traditional music. Those are the headlines.

Now for the podcast. Well, hi folks and welcome to this week's unexpected Leslie Ridic podcast.

We've managed to squeeze in an extra recording by recording on Monday.

Leslie, are you there?

Is this your one call from the H&P Edinburgh?

Right. I'm glad you think it's funny.

I'll tell you.

I totally, totally didn't think this was funny myself.

But yeah, I was speaking at the Palestine Solidarity March in Edinburgh on Saturday.

And it's an extraordinary thing.

I mean, if you know, I may have mentioned it already.

It's been a bit of a blur.

But, I mean, before I went, I spent about an hour on the phone to a solicitor about what to do if I'm arrested.

I kind of was arrested back in the day.
