The Black Paper
Hosted by Ndukwe Onuoha and Cheta Nwanze, The Black Paper looks at UK politics through the lens of African heritage communities, many of whom are recent migrants.
The Black Paper
Dog whistle politics: is Britain being colonised?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is Britain “being colonised” - or is that language part of something much bigger?
In this episode, we take a deep dive into three major political storylines shaping the national conversation: Jim Ratcliffe’s controversial remarks about immigration, projections that UK net migration could fall toward zero, and Keir Starmer’s push for closer ties with Europe.
But instead of reacting at headline level, we ask a deeper question: what do these narratives actually mean for people of African heritage in the UK?
