Pakistani Actress Visits UK Town, Says "It's Like Being At Home"
A Pakistani actress who visited the UK town of Bradford said it was “like being at home.” Commenting on her first trip to Bradford, Mehwish Hayat said the town was “like a mini Pakistan for me.”
“I feel like I am actually in my own country,” she added. Bradford has one of the highest Muslim populations out of any town in the UK. According to the 2011 census, over 20% of the population is
Pakistani, although that figure is now likely to be significantly
higher. The town suffered race riots in 2001 when its white majority
population faced off with the Pakistani community, leading to 297
arrests. Bradford’s white population shrunk from 76% in 2001 to 63% in 2011. * * * There is a war on free speech. Without your support, my voice will be silenced.
