Clive Myrie talks to Alp Mehmet


Listen Later

BBC News presenter, Clive Myrie, takes over the reins of 'One to One' for a three-part series on immigration.

As the son of Jamaican immigrants who came to the UK in the 1960s, Clive has a very personal take on this topic. He lived abroad as a foreign correspondent for almost 15 years, returning once or twice a year to see his family. After 2004 he noticed how much the UK was changing. The EU had expanded, Polish people were settling here in large numbers, and the transformation came as a shock to him.

In these interviews, Clive explores an immigrant's view of immigration. In the first programme, he speaks to Alp Mehmet, Vice-Chair of Migration Watch. Mehmet came to the UK at the age of 8, he went on to become an immigration officer and Ambassador to Iceland. As someone who was born abroad and has lived and worked in many different countries, what are his views on immigration and have they changed during his time with an organisation which has itself attracted plenty of controversy on the subject.
