Madam Miaow, AKA Anna Chen, takes over the
Lucky Cat hour on London radio station Resonance FM at 9pm tonight Tuesday 10th February, bringing cultural and political chat into your home. Not that my usual sophistimicated readers require my witteration to refundicate their erudition on home turf. Would I even
think that?
I’ll be talking about a range of topics from Anna May Wong — including material I didn’t have time to cover in my recent Radio 4 profile of the Hollywood legend — to the 5th anniversary of the
Morecambe Bay disaster when 23 Chinese cocklepickers died in icy waters off the north east coast of England.
What happened to the surviving families? How does the status of the unauthorised workers contribute to their vulnerability, and what can the government do to ensure there are no more tragedies like Morecambe Bay waiting to happen? How does the slogan, “British Jobs For British Workers” impact on these migrant workers?
My guests are
Jasper Sharp — east Asian film expert — and
Merlene Emerson who has helped raise funds for the victims' families and campaigns on migrants rights in the UK.
