Britain's border crisis boils over after Portsmouth protests

from The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show

Pink Ladies organiser Orla Minihane reveals the fear driving grassroots protests against asylum hotels, citing an 800% rise in sexual assaults linked to migration. Plus: Labour MP Stella Creasy's gender-segregation row, and why Britain's borders — not Russia or China — may be the biggest threat facing the country.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.
