Summary

As Britain’s hostile border environment starts to entrap visitors from the EU, is the Home Office’s Brexit-infected immigration arm out of control? And why does the Home Office turn reasonable Ministers into monsters? Plus, new Netflix documentary Nail Bomber: Manhunt unravels the story of the neo-Nazi terrorist who bombed Brick Lane, Brixton and the Admiral Duncan pub in Soho in 1999. What it teach us now that far right terror is once again on the rise? • “The Home Office is like a giant game of Jenga, with new legislation balanced on top of already chaotic policy.” – Minnie Rahman • “When you follow this route on immigration, you end up detonating your own trade network to win the freedom you never needed in the first place.” – Ian Dunt • “The awful function of Home Secretaries is to give Prime Ministers a Hard Cop they can define themselves against.” – Ros Taylor • “Border Force are extremely shady with no accountability… They can’t even say how many sites there are.” – Minnie Rahman Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt, Ros Taylor and Minnie Rahman. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Audio production by Alex Rees.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Oh God What Now. I'm Dorian Leskey. We're back in the studio again
0:09.5	observing the rule of three podcast posts. Let's meet the camera. Dining it from Birmingham,
0:14.4	it's Mini Rum and campaign and contractor at the Joint Council for the Welfare of Remains.
0:18.0	Hi Mini. Hi Dorian. It's Kis Dama sat down for an interview with famous
0:24.4	Megan Markle obsessive, Pears Morgan. Talked a lot about his unusual childhood, the loss of his
0:31.0	parents, not so much about politics or not so much that was very precise about politics.
0:37.3	Do you think, apart from the fact that being in a room with Pears Morgan is never a good idea,
0:41.2	do you think that this sort of set piece interview was a good idea for him at this stage?
0:46.5	Yeah, I was really nervous when I first heard about it, but I do actually think it was a good
0:51.8	thing for him to do because a lot of people watch Pears Morgan and a lot of people don't know
0:56.5	very much about Kis Dama. You know, for whatever reason he hasn't had the same kind of visibility
1:02.4	as other political leaders and he does need to find a way to build a public profile. He has actually
1:08.0	done a few things like this before so he did desert island discs. I think it was last year
1:13.4	and that was a very similar vibe. He was quite emotional about his parents on that, especially
1:17.9	his mum. I think what I now want to see from him is that, okay, that's your backstory,
1:24.2	that's your human story. You've let the public know who you are, but how is he going to use that
1:30.0	emotion to connect with people politically too? For me, that really is about the story of his
1:35.3	mum and dad because that's so much about the NHS and healthcare. I think that's something that
1:40.7	he could find his voice on. I'm just interested to see how that translates from Pears Morgan interview.
1:46.4	And there was also an idea floated recently. I'm not sure how kind of firm it is of a fly in
1:53.2	the wall documentary, of course Jeremy Corbyn also did one, the vice. Is that a good idea,
1:59.3	Shaman? I mean, again, it makes me really nervous, but I don't think it has to be a bad thing. I
