Speaking about the current situation in Britain, she pointed to ongoing anti-immigration protests as part of what makes the environment feel uncomfortable.
Reflecting on one of the demonstrations she witnessed from her London home, Coel said, “It just seems a bit odd because I don’t think many people are racing to immigrate to the UK like they used to.”
She added that there is a growing shift among West Africans, explaining, “I think more and more, if people can find a way out, I’m talking particularly for West Africans, they will go. I think the UK has lost the attraction it once had.”
