Surviving Society

This week its an episode swap! Surviving Society has joined forces with Michaela Benson’s amazing podcast, Who Do We Think We Are? To bring you one of our favourite episodes from series 2. In this episode Michaela and guests ask what is the UK’s Nationality and Borders Act? How does it relate to previous acts concerned with nationality and immigration legislation? What is the back story to some of the central changes that this act introduces? They cover all of this and more in this bumper episode.
