BBC Radio 2 - Jeremy Vine, Paddy O'Connell Sits In

Paddy O'Connell sits in for Jeremy to discuss poverty, Motability Schemes and blood donors

Paddy O'Connell discusses an increase in child poverty, the Motability Scheme, a woman who has donated 120 pints of blood and the problem of noise pollution in kids' playgrounds.

Paddy O'Connell sits in for Jeremy. 

A new report says that child poverty could increase from a fifth to a quarter over the next 3 years. As incomes fall, what has your child had to go without?

If you're disabled, have you been part of the Motability Scheme that allows you to lease a car with taxpayers' money? One commentator describes it as a 'racket'.

How often have you donated blood? One woman has given 120 pints of her blood. Do you feel guilty you don't donate?

A council in Staffordshire has stopped kids from using a swing because they say it creates too much noise and disturbance. Are you fed up with noise from a children's playground?

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
