Description

Hayes on Sunday revisits the week’s shows with guests: Jessica Mitford talks about her time in the US Communist Party; Kenneth Slack, director, talks about the work of Christian Aid and takes a call accusing the charity of propaganda; Ken Marks, MP with responsibility for Gypsies, and Tom Lee of the Romany Guild talk about the problems faced by Gypsies and Travellers: how local councils are failing to make adequate site provision, and whether sites currently being provided will help to solve the issue; Dame Alicia Markova talks about her career in ballet, her love for it, and why she changed her name; Dave Bowman, NUR spokesman, on the profits posted by British Rail, people’s views of the railways and the ongoing costs; Peter Self of the London School of Economics (LSE) on the UK being over-governed, and the lack of public interest in how the UK is governed. Ends with music.
