The Labour frontbencher, Seema Malhotra, is speaking just ahead of Jeremy Corbyn’s speech in central London today.
The unshared prosperity, she adds, has been an important driver for how people felt about membership of the EU. But there are other concerns too around community cohesion.
She reads out a message from a teacher in her constituency who spoke of an incident that occurred after the referendum result. The teacher was escorting a group of young children when they were racially abused by members of the public.
They shouted: “Why are there only 10 white faces in this class? Why are you not educating the English?
Children aged six were crying and saying that they were going to have to leave the country, according to the teacher. Malhotra says that people are in need of reassurance.
What a scummy, piece of shit, country we've become
Personally, I like my country and the people it contains. You are free to leave at anytime.
I hear that attitude a lot from people like you. Personally, I find it a bit vile
Why should somebody be expected to leave their country, just because they don't like the direction it's going in? Surely it would be best if they stayed and tried to change things.
Anyway, I've already left
I live in Budapest, and after the result of the referendum, I've never been more relieved.
I hold an Irish passport too, and from now on, I am referring to myself as Irish
I would be embarrassed to be associated with the Little Englanders who voted to leave.
