In this week’s show: meet Mr Sausagemakerson; and we ask whether one of our Lords is a sexual predator or a victim of character assassination. Then, Sci-fi representations of the future, Edward Snowden applies to become rector of Glasgow University , and President Obama’s speech on recalibrating some of America ’s more dubious global activities. Plus, the extraordinary conference on Syria in Montreux, and Putin’s risible anti-gay stance. Tell us what you think at tro@gadgetdetective.com
