#89 The truth about the British Empire

Sathnam Sanghera joins me to discuss his new book 'Empireland: How Imperialism Shaped Modern Britain'. Sathnam is an award winning journalist, writer for The Times, and has his own Documentary called 'The Massacre That Shook The Empire' which you can watch on All4. We discuss his books, racism, the British Empire, and how two of the former impact society and politics today.
