About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes


The Right and Far-Right are weaponising the issue of immigration in the UK and across the West for votes. The Left too often either copies them or is silent.


Socialists need to be unequivocal and bold in standing up for asylum seekers fleeing death and persecution. What should it say about economic migrants and what would a popular Left immigration policy look like?


Come and discuss with an excellent panel including immigration expert at Open Democracy Zoe Gardner, and researcher Farhan Samanani at King's College London, whose research explores how hostile immigration policy fosters active hatred.
