Kaye asks if fracking is good news for Scotland. And will you buy the Band Aid 30 single?

Kaye Adams asks listeners if fracking is good news for Scotland and if they will be buying the new Band Aid 30 single.

On Morning Call with Kaye Adams. 

Is fracking good news for Scotland?

Chemicals giant Ineos has announced plans to invest up to £640m in shale gas exploration in the UK.
The company plans to use the gas as a raw material for its chemicals plants, including Grangemouth in Stirlingshire.
Grangemouth is currently running at a loss, but Ineos believes shale gas will transform the economics of the plant.
Ineos chairman Jim Ratcliffe said he wanted his company "to become the biggest player in the UK shale gas industry".

And

Will you be buying the new band aid single?

Band Aid 30's Do They Know It's Christmas?, released on Monday this week was announced as the fastest selling single of the year so far after less than 24 hours on sale and is on course to score the number one spot in the charts on Sunday. Critics have said the celebrities should donate more themselves, that the song negatively portrays Africa and that the celebrity charity model is losing it's lustre.
