  • Number of places: 10
  • Start date: 11 October 2016
  • Description:

    Current affairs and politics – you either find them fascinating or you are bored stiff. Maybe you’d love to talk over issues of the day but your partner/friends would rather you didn’t! Whether you get your inputs from the Beeb, (Today, PM, Newsnight etc.), an online site, or dip into Sky or Al Jazeera, then join us and share your views as we endeavour to unscramble the news and share perceptions. We embrace multiple forms of the media in a week-by-week flexible format and examine one or two hot topics of the previous week. We relish the ‘you couldn’t make it up ‘ moments and have a bit of fun at the expense of politicians and others in public life. Everyone’s input is encouraged and you will gain most if you come open to others’ views and wiiling to contrbute yours, so that we’ll leave better informed and a little wiser.

  • Format: Discussion
