BFL36 - The Truth About The Small Boats Crisis: Horatio Clare

In We Came By Sea,  Horatio Clare exposes the gap between perception and reality of the small boats crisis. Most people in the UK support asylum for the deserving yet press reports continue to drive fear and hysteria. What is the truth about small boats?  Horatio’s investigations into the small boats crisis continue. Since publication of his book last year, he has returned to Calais and has interviewed people both for and against the migrant cause. 

In conversation with James Long

James Long was a BBC TV news correspondent until the end of the 1980’s.  After two years starting and running an international TV station out of Zurich, he returned to England to concentrate on writing. He wrote four thrillers then went back to Ferney, a story of love and self-discovery that he had begun many years earlier. More novels followed, including two written under the pseudonym Will Davenport.  He moved into historical fiction in 2007 with The Plot Against Pepys, co-written with his eldest son Ben, and the prequel to The Pepys Conspiracy (2025).
