Description
Drawbridge Britain explores the complex history of immigration in modern Britain. From the initial panic surrounding the Windrush dock's arrival in 1948 to the Brexit vote driven by fear and mistrust, this narrative examines how successive governments have made life difficult for immigrants. The story also delves into the experiences of British residents and their newest neighbours as they build lives together, often against the odds. Russell Hargrave asks a crucial question: what needs to happen next for Britain to secure a happier, liberal future in an age of immigration?
