Britain's border crisis boils over after Portsmouth protests
from The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show
As a mega-dinghy carrying 260 migrants lands in Portsmouth, masked protesters clash with police while locals demand answers. Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Spiked editor Tom Slater to unpack the unrest, Andy Burnham's push for Israel sanctions, and claims the UN's own refugee agency says most asylum grants are unlawful. 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. Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
