Is it time for a return to socialism? A group of MPs and trade unionists are demanding the Government put the interests of people before those of the banks. But would nationalising public utilities and increasing benefits help? Or just leave us even more bankrupt? And: Should Scotland pay for the London 2012 Olympics? Lord Coe, chairman of the committee responsible for the London 2012 Olympics, says "I find the further from London you go, the more enthusiastic people become." Really? Are you feeling the enthusiasm for 2012? Is this set to be a "golden decade of sport" as Lord Coe reckons? It comes as the Scottish Government attempts to reclaim £150m of National Lottery funding diverted from Scotland to cover Olympic costs. Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
