Another episode in English – another important topic. With Yannis
Wong, PhD student at the Department of Anglophone Studies at the
University of Duisburg-Essen, we discuss his research and delve
into the complex world of British immigration policy, focusing on
the British National Overseas (BNO) Visa Scheme for Hong Kong
residents. Yannis explains how this seemingly humanitarian
initiative actually reflects colonial legacies and selective
immigration practices. We also look at the hidden narratives behind
official and media rhetoric, examining how language is used to
justify and normalise historical injustices.
