Hopping Mad with Will McLeod & Arliss BunnyYou Heard It Here First...19 June 2017 - This was one of those shows where Will and I covered a lot of ground. We did not have an interview (and there is no Extra Mad) so we just moved straight through the show with no breaks.

Prime Minister May has also announced that when negotiating Brexit from the European Union, limiting immigration will take priority over jobs, the economy and justice.

Brexit basically ate the news cycle of much of the world this past week. Who knew so many people could find legitimate use for the word "gobsmacked." We were lucky to be guided through the chaos by Scottish National Party Councilor Math Campbell-Sturgess. Will has been wanting to have the Inverclyde Council representative on for a quite a while and this seemed like the moment.
