Are you surprised a student was turned away from a nightclub for wearing a turban?

Nomia asks whether listeners are surprised after a student was turned away from a Mansfield nightclub for wearing a turban.

Are you surprised a student was turned away from a nightclub for wearing a turban? That's what happened to Sikh student Amrik Singh in Mansfield. After that we hear from Sarah McMullen from the National Childbirth Trust after the charity found that 84% of women felt their mental health problems had an impact on their home lives. Also we ask, are you comfortable talking about sex? Vena Ramphal is an expert and advises people on how to overcome embarrassment, shyness or anxiety. She's hosting a Channel 4 programme on it. And Portsmouth College's deputy principal Simon Barrable tells us about the college's "Hinglish" course, which he says will help students with job and business opportunities in Asia.
