Social Mobility and Making It in Modern Britain, with Hashi Mohamed and Razia Iqbal

Social Mobility and Making It in Modern Britain, with Hashi Mohamed and Razia Iqbal

This episode is an exploration of social mobility and inequality in contemporary Britain, featuring Hashi Mohamed, author of People Like Us. Hashi came to the UK aged nine, a refugee from the Somali civil war. He attended some of the country's worst schools and was raised exclusively on state benefits. Yet today he is a successful barrister with an Oxford degree. In conversation with the BBC's Razia Iqbal, he looks back at his own experiences and asks what they can tell us about social mobility - or the lack of it - in Britain today.
