This week, we look at Vietnamese ‘boat people' and the Boliano 52 – a group of refugees left without aid in the South China Sea. Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the announcement in December 2021 of an amendment to the Nationality and Borders Bill to provide the RNLI with legal protection in the case of rescuing refugees at sea. However, we feel the sentiments expressed in this episode surrounding the bill still merit inclusion.
