Send us Fan MailSummaryIn this episode, we discuss the rising anti-migrant sentiment and protests in the UK, exploring the historical context of migration, economic discontent, and the dangerous ideology of remigration. We analyse the role of media in shaping public discourse and highlight the significant contributions of migrants to the UK economy, particularly in the NHS. Our conversation emphasises the need for migrants to engage in political discourse to counter negative narratives and advocate for their rights and contributions.
