Imagine a life in which you have to live away from your children, maybe for several years. Ask yourself how you could keep the ties close between you, watch them growing up, and continue to be a daily part of their lives.

Modern slavery: the plight of migrant domestic workers in the UK

It was almost enough to give me a warm fuzzy glow about Cameron — the news he had hired a Nepalese nanny through Kalayaan, a charity helping domestic workers to escape abusive employers.

Thinking beyond the bogeyman: responding to public opinion on immigration

Date: 18/10/2011 - 08:10

Given that public opinion is such a major driver of political decision-making on immigration, there are a surprising number of craters in detailed understanding of it.
