Immigration returned to the headlines over the past week after the High Court granted an injunction forcing the removal of migrants from a hotel in Essex – a ruling that could have wider implications for similar cases across the country. At the same time, the sight of Union Jacks and St George's Crosses appearing in towns and cities has sparked a debate over whether flag-flying is a symbol of patriotism or a sign of growing division.On this podcast, originally recorded for Saturday's Coffee House Shots, Lucy Dunn is joined by Lord Hannan and trade unionist Paul Embery to ask: what kind of country is Britain becoming? Paul argues that rapid cultural change, combined with economic decline, has left many people feeling disoriented and neglected. Dan Hannan warns that national symbols once seen as unifying risk becoming sectarian markers, echoing Northern Ireland's politics of identity.They debate the failures of integration policy to the dangers of what Embery calls ‘soft Lebanonisation' – a creeping communalism in which people retreat into their own tribes. The political class have been slow to listen, leaving space for rising resentment over immigration and national identity. So, why is Britain so uncertain of its own identity? Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textThis is a public talk I delivered on the concept of genocide and the arguments presented in the South African genocide charge against Israel in late 2023.  Several people who wanted to attend but could not asked if it could be recorded. We tried, but somehow that did not work out.  To the extent possible I tried to be scholarly and  analytical in this talk.  But how can we be scholarly and detached and analytical when we see Miss Rachel singing "hop little bunny" as a three-year-old Palestinian child dances gleefully around on her new artificial legs?  And the evening news (if you watch a good source) is beyond distressing.  There are times when I think of that line from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness:  "The horror!  The horror!  I have delivered this talk three times, once at a university, once at a church, and once at a retirement community.  In all three cases, the audience was open and responsive, and the post-talk discussion was serious and engaging. I hope you find this talk helpful.  Also, I delivered a full hour-long podcast discussion of that South African document soon after it was filed with the High Court of Justice in the Hague.

This week, a legal challenge against the disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora, the Māori Health Authority, will be heard in the High Court in Wellington.

Lucy Dunn and Luke Tryl of More in Common join Patrick Gibbons to try to make sense of this.

Anti-migrant protesters are celebrating today, with The Bell Hotel in Epping set to close its doors to asylum seekers after becoming a battleground over the summer on the issue.A High Court ruling ordered The Bell to stop housing migrants on a planning technicality. It did not receive the proper permission to switch its use from short-term stays to people living there for more than 30-day stretches, despite having run as such without incident for more than five years.A failed last-minute attempt by the Home Office to get the case dismissed laid out the department's concerns. The government barrister warned that any injunction could lead to other councils following suit, a development "that would aggravate the pressures on the asylum estate."He also warned that granting the injunction would “"run the risk of acting as an impetus for further violent protests".Those appeals were unsuccessful. And now the government is having to work out where those asylum seekers will now live. If other councils follow suit - and succeed - it could become a major political crisis.

Police arrested more than 200 people at a demonstration in central London in support of Palestine Action on Saturday 9th August - as protesters said free speech was under attack. Palestine Action is proscribed by the government as a terrorist organisation, but the High Court ruled on 30 July that proscription of Palestine Action, which has carried out break-ins at defence firms linked to Israel as part of direct action protests, should be reviewed. Palestine Action was banned under terrorism law after activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire in June, and sprayed two Voyager planes with red paint.

Day 669 - Is Israel about to conquer the entire Gaza Strip?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to convene a limited security meeting today to discuss military plans for Gaza. According to reports based on leaked information, following yesterday’s cabinet meeting, Netanyahu told ministers he intends to seek cabinet approval for a full re-occupation of the Gaza Strip. Horovitz delves into the pushback from several sectors of Israeli society -- including hostage families and security officials past and present -- and raises the possibility that this plan could be a negotiating lever to bring Hamas to the table. This idea to conquer and/or occupy the entire Gaza Strip comes as a report released Monday by the Hostages and Missing states that the 20 living hostages held by Hamas in Gaza are at an “immediate risk of death” due to starvation. The terrible conundrum of whether it is possible to simultaneously defeat Hamas and still get the hostages out alive has become increasingly more acute as the war continues. With this new leaked potential plan, Borschel-Dan wonders, has Netanyahu given up on the hostages? Horovitz responds. The government voted unanimously on Monday to dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara from office, following months of confrontation between the two sides, in a decision that will have deep legal and political reverberations given the government’s long-running efforts to weaken the judiciary. The move was then frozen by the High Court until the justices can rule on its legality. Horovitz gives three scenarios explaining why the government moved forward -- during the Knesset recess -- with this controversial step. Also on Monday afternoon, lawmakers on the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee voted 9-7 to appoint Likud MK Boaz Bismuth as their chairman, officially pushing out former chairman Yuli Edelstein in a move designed to end an impasse over legislation on military draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox community. What makes Bismuth a better candidate to push legislation forward? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
