Notas del episodio

Ever wondered what specifically happens to a person who gets the bubonic plague? Do you know specifically how bubonic plague is relates to the first forms of border control? Do you want to know? If so, then this episode is for you!

If not, how does it feel to be a mentally healthy person? In this episode I take listeners through the history of borders and border control, paying particular attention to the history of British migration policy. Expect discussion of the plague (obviously), eugenics theory, Westphalian peace accords, Windrush migration and the Hostile Environment.
