Crash Course With Michael Walker

The Dire State of Britain's Asylum System (w/ Lou Calvey)


Listen Later

For the first episode of my series on migration I spoke to immigration and asylum specialist Lou Calvey. We discussed the rise of small boat crossings, how the asylum backlog got so large, and why the home office isn't fit for purpose.  Lou brings a wealth of experience both from the policy world, and from practically supporting asylum seekers, which really came through in this interview.
