Who’s next: Does Britain have a problem with Black excellence?

In this episode, we discuss the recent fallout from the death of Professor Jason Arde, exploring themes of racism, education, and immigration policy. We reflect on the societal implications of Arde's hounding by the press, the achievements of Brampton Manor Academy students, and the cultural perspectives surrounding education and meritocracy. 

The conversation also delves into changes in immigration policy, focusing on the framing of speed in legal processes and the public's perception of these issues.
