Scottish Police will be paid to take part in Pride parades despite forces cutting back on fighting crime, reports say.
Uniformed police officers were asked to stand for excessive force at LGBTI marches in exchange for pay or a day off.
While senior officers will monitor hundreds of marches, they have asked other staff to attend them to show support for the protesters.
Talk's Kevin O'Sullivan is joined by former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley who claims participating in pride marches goes against their oaths as a police officer, adding it "shows favour" to one section of the community.
