Lion and Lamb: Britain's Moral Duality, with Mihir Bose

Mihir Bose arrived in the UK in 1969 with the equivalent of more than £12,500 smuggled in his underwear. Enoch Powell had delivered his infamous 'Rivers of Blood' speech only a year before. This set a precedent for Mihir's earliest impressions of Britain's attitude towards immigrants,and would later culminate in several life-threatening moments as a jobbing sport journalist. These and other memories are retold in Mihir's latest book Lion and Lamb, a slim volume documenting his most stark encounters with Britain's split personality: the 'king of the jungle' with claws and teeth bared towards all who dare enter its path, and the softer countenance of the lamb with which the country has built a legacy of decency and fairness.Follow The Booking Club:Twitter: @bookingclubpodInstagram: @bookingclubpodFacebook: @bookingclubpodTikTok: @bookingclubpod Hosted on Acast.
