Paralympics, Seòras Orwell agus na thachair dha Gà idheil Bhlà r Worcester. bbc.co.uk/coinneach Paralympics, George Orwell and the Gaels who fought at the Battle of Worcester.
An-diugh: Na Paralympics agus iad a' tòiseachadh an t-seachdain seo. Deabad air ìomhaigh Sheòrais Orwell a chuir suas ann an Lunnainn: Bheir sinn sùil air 'obair agus air a' cheist: dè am pà rtaidh dham buineadh e nam biodh e beò an-diugh? Còmhradh a Ceà rnag Vincent ann an meadhan Lunnainn, far a bheil na ceudan Albannaich - Eileanaich nam measg - air an tiodhlaigeadh is gun charraigh-cuimhne no cà il ann dhaibh. Thà inig iad a-mach air taobh an Rìgh Thearlaich is chaill iad gu mòr an-aghaidh feachdain Crombail aig Blà r Worcester. Agus togaidh sinne carson a tha cuid againn cho dualtach rudan a chuir dheth a-rithist is a-rithist chun a' mhionaid mu dheireadh? Post-dealain: coinneach@bbc.co.uk
Daily topical chat with Kenny MacIver. Today we look ahead to the Paralympics which begin this week. We also look at the life and work of George Orwell amid debate as to whether a statue should be erected to his memory. We hear about the fate of the Gaels who fought at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. King Charles' army was crushed by Cromwell and thousands of Scots taken prisoner. About 1,000 lie buried under Vincent Square in London's West End. And, on a lighter note, we look at the psychology of procrastination. Email: coinneach@bbc.co.uk.
