The British Social Attitudes, among other social surveys, has been tracking public attitudes towards immigration for over 20 years. In this episode host Sierra Mesplie-Escott sits down with Rob Ford, a Professor of Political Science at the University of Manchester, and Helena Wilson, a Senior Researcher at the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), to discuss how attitudes have evolved towards a topic that remains central to political and cultural debates. They explore the key trends from the latest British Social Attitudes report, and how long-running times series such as this can help to inform the debate. Their discussion also centres on the broader UK context, how long-standing opinions compare to recent changes, what role major events like Brexit have played in shaping perspectives, and whether changes in the makeup of society influence how we think about immigration.
