Starving Refugees to Teach Them a Lesson feat. Vicki Spratt

Show notes (as published)

This week, it’s a star-studded cast of Riley ( @raaleh ), Hussein ( @HKesvani ), Milo ( @Milo_Edwards ), and Alice @AliceAvizandum discussing the recent story of asylum seeker Mercy Baguma being found dead from malnutrition in her flat in Glasgow. Why was she starving? Because asylum seekers in the UK aren’t allowed to work and are only allowed £40 a week to live on. This is of course by design -- because Baz logic runs that people won’t seek refuge in the UK if we’re just as cruel as possible to them. We also have an interview with Riley, Hussein, and I Newspaper’s housing correspondent Vicky Spratt ( @Victoria_Spratt ) on the topic of the looming eviction crisis, Britain’s housing shortage, and why it doesn’t have to be this way (but has only gotten worse in the last 40 years).
