Any Stupid Questions about... Immigration?

Ever feel like you missed something important when it comes to the news? A fact, a detail, or an event that it feels like everyone else knows about, and now you'd look like a moron if you asked someone to explain? Well, here's a podcast that will ask those questions so you don't have to.This week, host Danielle Ward is joined by Phoebe Griffith, Associate Director for Migration, Integration and Communities at the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), who will explain everything there is to know about immigration to the United Kingdom. Danielle is joined by comedians Sadia Azmat (host of the BBC's No Country For Young Women) and Benjamin Partridge (writer and star of The Beef & Dairy Network Podcast).Questions asked and answered include:How many immigrants are there in the United Kingdom?How easy is it to get into the UK?What are the downsides to immigration?How can immigrants both be taking all our jobs AND claiming benefits?....so if you've sort of been guessing the answers based on a gut feeling, why not listen and find out for sure? And then subscribe to stay equally informed about other issues, as we get around to them.All our guests are on Twitter, so go and say hello - @phoebegriffith @sadia_azmats_ and @benpartridge, and Danielle is @captainward. And the show itself now has a Twitter account: @AnyStupidQs.
