Humans have always moved. long before we started planting grains in the fertile crescent, we moved around the globe in search of food, shelter and other humans for trade and collaboration. If you're moving now without dollar in your pocket, your demonized, shunned and your humanity questioned, just for trying to find a better life. The climate crisis is going to have millions on the move. How do we bring solidarity and shared understanding to our fellow man?
This week on the show Lucy and Ads are joined by Zoe Gardner. Zoe is a migration and asylum policy specialist, researcher, advocate, and writer.
We discuss the current hell that migrants go through travelling to and through Europe, how Britain leaving the European Union ramped up the crossings by small boats, The potential danger of Robert Jenerick becoming the new Leader of the Tory party and what a humane asylum system would look like.
