BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Call, 09/05/2014

Kaye Adams asks whether women have never had it so good or never had it so bad.

TOPIC 1: TRIDENT
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has said that in the event of Scottish Independence, the removal and relocation of Trident from Scotland could take over a decade and run into a cost of billions of pounds. This timescale contradicts the SNP's timescale from the White Paper on Independence which states that Scotland will be nuclear weapon free by 2020.

Kaye asks: How important is it for you to get rid of Trident?

TOPIC 2: SEXISM
BBC Two documentary 'Blurred Lines: The New Battle Of The Sexes' was broadcast last night in which Kirsty Wark asked whether it is now acceptable to refer to women in a sexist way. In the documentary, Germaine Greer said that she feels that things have become worse for women not better and that the internet has gone a long way to normalising sexist and misogynist attitudes.

Kaye asks: Have women never had it so good or never had it so bad?

Extra Question:
It's Eurovision this weekend - are you having a party and celebrating or will you be avoiding it like the plague?
