    149: The Caribbean and the Second World War with Colin Douglas

    "This was a continuation of the British Caribbean Experience: fighting with Britain during global wars, and during times of peace fighting British authorities for justice." This week I am joined by author Colin Douglas discussing his book 'The Caribbean and the Second World War'. We discuss the long military history in the region and the various ways the Caribbean were a part of the global conflict. We discuss the Caribbean as an important geographical location for both Britain and the allies and Germany and the axis powers. But also consider Britain's military colour bar during this time.

    148: Deportation and Immigration ft. Hannah Gaffey

    In November 2023, Hannah Gaffey on her flight to Kingston, Jamaica witnessed what she believed to be a deportation. After standing with other passengers to stop the plane taking off, the passenger then unknown to her was removed from the flight along with the 6 security personnel that were attempting to restrain him across the back row of a packed flight full of holiday makers. In this episode we'll be talking about the deportation, the hounding from the tabloid media and the key board warriors who sent death threats. We discuss the current rise of the far right following the events of this summer and the way in which immigration has been used as a political tool especially in the last year.

The life of the educational psychologist Mollie Hunte and why she remains relatively unknown despite her tremendous contribution to British society.
