Michaela Coel says African people don’t want to live in Britain any more – as she reveals she feels ‘more at peace’ in Ghana than London

Michaela Coel has claimed Britain is ‘no longer attractive’ to West Africans amid anti-immigrant marches in Ghana that have left her feeling ‘more at peace’.

The 38-year-old two-time BAFTA award-winning actress grew up in east London but now splits her time between the capital and her home in Ghana.

In a new interview, Coel talked about life in the UK, where he described what he described as ‘bizarre’ protests over immigration and watched from his home in London.

‘It seems a bit strange because I don’t think many people are racing to emigrate to the UK in the way they used to,’ he said Sunday Times.

‘I think more and more that if people can find a way out, I’m talking particularly about West Africans, they will go. ‘I think the UK has lost the appeal it once had.’

At right-wing activist Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in September, protesters marched down Stamford Street towards the south end of Whitehall.

Crowds vented their anger over free speech and Britain’s small boat crisis before criticizing the British Government in a guest video appearance by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. He called on marchers to ‘fight or die’ and spoke of the ‘accelerating erosion of Britain’.

A second march is planned to be held in the capital next month, with Sharon Osbourne controversially announcing last week that she would also be attending.

Coel is of Ghanaian descent but grew up in east London.

The two-time BAFTA award-winning actor said he watched Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march from his home window in September.

However, as Coel prepares for his return to the screens with the new BBC series First Day On Earth, he said he feels ‘more at peace’ in his native Ghana.

Filming for the ten-episode series has begun in Ghana, and Coel will both star and executive produce the project.

The actress rose to fame with a starring role in Channel 4’s Chewing Gum and made her directorial debut with the 12-episode HBO series I May Destroy You.

He won the Outstanding Writing Award for Television Limited Anthology Series or Film at the Emmy Awards and won five Baftas for the project.

Since Labor came to power, the country’s small boat crisis has escalated further, with around 70,701 migrants crossing the Channel.

It is estimated that 602 migrants reached the UK on Saturday alone; This brings this year’s total to over 6,000.

In your last promise, Reform Britain leader Nigel Farage has vowed to ‘immediately detain’ and deport around 400,000 asylum seekers if his party wins the next election.

Revealing new details of his promise to tighten border controls, Farage said all illegal immigrants arriving in the five years before the next election would be jailed.

The party said these people would include those who arrived secretly on small boats or in the back of trucks, as well as those who sought asylum using fake documents.

This will rise above the 600,000 deportations last year that the reform said it would introduce, bringing the total to one million.

The reform government will review all asylum applications submitted up to five years ago, leading to more deportations.

According to the party’s new policy, anyone who requests asylum after their visa expires will be detained and deported.

It is estimated that 602 migrants reached the UK on small boats on Saturday; This brings this year’s total figure past the 6,000 mark.

The visas of the third category of asylum seekers (those whose home countries are now considered safe) will also be canceled and they will be eligible for deportation.

Since the current capacity of immigration removal centers is less than 3,000 beds, detaining such a large number of people would pose a major challenge.

But a Reform spokesman predicted that many of those targeted by the new policy would choose to leave the UK voluntarily.

Reform Britain’s home affairs spokesman, Zia Yusuf, accused Labor and the previous Conservative government of allowing Britain to be ‘invaded’ by asylum seekers.

‘For years Conservative and Labor governments have presided over the invasion of Britain,’ he said. ‘They implemented an effective open border policy.

‘Instead of upholding the law, they rewarded those who broke the law by entering the UK illegally. Reform will reverse this.’

He added: ‘Today we are announcing that the Reform government will review the previous five years of asylum grants and that anyone who enters the country illegally or overstays on another visa will have their status stripped and deported.

‘We will do whatever it takes to restore justice in England.’

The ‘one in, one out’ scheme launched by Labor last year, which allows small boat migrants to be returned to France, has so far resulted in the removal of 377 people, but 380 people have been brought back to the UK under the reciprocal terms of the deal. The program is planned to end in June.

In a further sign that Labour’s small craft policies are in disarray, the head of the UK’s border security command resigned at the end of last month after failing to stop a surge in crossings.

Shortly after becoming Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer appointed Martin Hewitt, a former senior police officer, tasked with limiting numbers crossing the Channel.

But job transfers have continued at very high levels during his 18 months in office, with last year witnessing the second-highest annual total in history.
