Famous singer Dua Lipa criticized British authorities officers’ feedback on migrants, slamming them as “shortsighted and small-minded.”
Lipa, a Grammy-winning performer who was born to Kosovar-Albanian mother and father, expressed the non-public “hurt” attributable to the way in which the federal government has mentioned Albanians and known as for a higher sense of empathy.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Lipa warned such rhetoric has a destructive affect.
She confused that she has all the time believed London to be a melting pot of various cultures, which is an integral a part of the town’s id.
“So when you hear the government talk about Albanians, for example, it hurts. It’s shortsighted and small-minded, but it’s the way a lot of people think,” she stated.
“No matter how we try to change the rhetoric, there will always be those who think, ‘Immigrants are coming into the country and taking jobs’.”
But, she added: “Immigrants who have come here have earned their keep by working incredibly hard. There needs to be more empathy, because people don’t leave their country unless they have to out of necessity, out of fear for their family.”
Home Secretary Suella Braverman final October singled out “Albanian criminals” throughout a debate within the House of Commons, referring to what she known as an “invasion” of Britain by way of small boats crossing the English Channel.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has additionally expressed robust disapproval of the “extremely disgraceful” concentrating on of Albanians by authorities ministers, with explicit emphasis on Braverman.
