Brexit: Welsh Muslim Told to ‘Pack Bags and Go Home’ after Campaigning for Remain

Cardiff, 21 Ramadan 1437/5 June 2016 (MINA) – A Welsh Muslim who campaigned to remain in the EU was told to “pack her bags and go home” soon after the vote to leave the European Union.

Shazia Awan, a businesswoman brought up in Caerphilly, warned that the fallout of the divisive referendum campaign would see an increase in racist abuse, theindependent.co.uk reported.

Echoing Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s view that much of the anti-EU debate had been characterised by hate, Ms Awan had written: “The campaign was racist.

“Don’t see how this country can heal itself. The UK is my home yet I feel alienated.”

But Warren Faulkner, whose Twitter handle is @foggyneiinfidel, replied: “Great news…you can pack your bags, you’re going home…BYE THEN.” (T/R07/R01)
