YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHome Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced ‘substantial reforms’ to the UK’s ‘unfair and outdated’ asylum system - as the government vowed to close all hotels housing migrants “for good.” She claimed that Labour inherited an asylum system "in chaos" when they won power last year, and insisted that "substantial reforms are needed now". This follows a weekend where anti-asylum protests continued across the country, seeing people arrested in Essex and London.
James O'Brien considers how can a 'rational conversation' about migration can be had 'when the whole world has gone mad'.
