Panel begins on "What does Brexit mean for Black and Asian Britain?" @neemabegum starts with the issues that shaped BME attitudes towards Brexit. Highlights 3 key areas: concerns about racism, immigration & Britishness, each of which could be deployed by either side. #MEIBrexit
Concerns about racism, for example, could drive a Remain vote because of fear of the rhetoric of Nigel Farage and Ukip, but it could also encourage Leave voting, due to anger at the EU's treatment of refugees and fears of Islamophobia in Europe.
Next up: @MTrevorP recalls his last visit to @QMUL 40 years ago, and congratulates us on transforming "a shit-hole" into "a spankingly impressive university". Argues that Brexit is a *less* important challenge for Britain than automation and demographic change. #MEIBrexit
