The Spectator Podcast: the deportation game, Osborne’s leadership chances and the Stepford Students

In this week’s cover feature, Rod Liddle and Douglas Murray look at Britain and Europe’s approach to deportation. In Britain, we can’t get rid of jihadis, sex-gang ringleaders and drug lords – so we try to deport old ladies, says Rod. In Europe, it’s worse, says Douglas. Their attitude to migrants is suicidal. Thanks to Britain’s geography and a few sensible decisions by our government, Britain has so far been spared the worst of the migrant crisis. But we should pity most of the other European countries, because they are losing control not just of their borders but of their civilisation and culture. Isabel Hardman is joined by Douglas Murray, and Don Flynn, the Director of the Migrants’ Rights Network, to discuss whether Britain – and Europe – have a serious problem on their hands.

Migration – and deportation – is sure to be a large part of the EU debate in the coming months, but closer to home, there’s another big battle looming: the Tory leadership contest.
