BBC Radio Scotland - The Kaye Adams Programme, 15/12/2016

Kaye Adams asks if Scots want to pay more taxes, plus Thatcher on trial and dog theft.

It's budget day in Holyrood and Kaye Adams asks if Scots want to pay more taxes, plus she discusses how to remember Margaret Thatcher and how to protect dogs from being stolen.

It's draft budget day at Holyrood and Scotland could become the highest taxed region in the UK if Derek MacKay doesn't pass on the UK Governments tax cut for highest earners. We want to know what kind of tax regime do you want for Scotland? Should we use more of our new tax powers - but should we raise or cut taxes?


MARGARET THATCHER ON TRIAL
She's just been voted the most influential woman of the past 70 years by Radio 4 show Women's Hour. But even judges admit the choice was a source of enormous contention. So how should she be remembered? 

DOG THEFT
More dogs are being stolen than ever before according to a nationwide charity. We'll find out why and what you need to do to make keep your pooch safe. 

EDINBURGH SILENT FIREWORKS
One councillor in Edinburgh is calling for special silent fireworks to be used on Hogmanay to minimise the effect on residents, pets and children - but is this any way to welcome in the New Year?

ASK THE DOCTOR
As ever on a Thursday it's surgery time. Doctor Tom Smith is here to dissect the week's big medical stories but he's also here help so if you've got any health related questions for him get them in now. Get in touch - call 0500 92 95 00, text 80295, email kaye@bbc.co.uk. 

WORKING CONDITIONS
With one MSP calling some multinational firms in Scotland "exploiters, cheats and a throwback to the Victorian era" we'll take a look at working conditions for the people who take the strain over the festive period.
