Previously in Europe, Ciarán. This week Hugh does a solo episode while Ciarán is away ranting about the Windrush scandal in the UK. Finally a non-Brexit scandal in Westminster to talk about... if only it weren't so horrifying.

Some details about Renford McIntyre at the New York Times. There a plenty of other cases documented by publications both major and more minor:

Some detailed ones from the Guardian:

David Lammy, MP for Tottenham which has a large population of first and second generation migrants, is on twitter most mornings with reports of new cases (though albeit without details).
