UK reacts with 'panic wave' over refugees -Gurnah
"In Britain, these panic waves that come every few years, the targets changes but it seems there is yet always another panic of another group of people who have come to, who are coming rather, to overwhelm us. Caribbean people, Pakistanis, Indians, and later times it’s Roma, people from Eastern Europe and Afghans, Syrians etcetera," said Gurnah.
The Tanzanian novelist won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee.
He made the comments on Tuesday (December 7) as he took questions from journalists online ahead of the Nobel Prize ceremony.
