Brexit Special with Qasa Alom

BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Brexit Special with Qasa Alom

What does Brexit mean for you? A panel of experts answers listeners' questions.

In a year's time we'll leave the European Union, but what does Brexit mean for you? Qasa hosts an Asian Network Brexit special, with an expert panel, including BBC Brussels correspondent Adam Fleming, Aarti Shankar from thinktank Open Europe, London School of Economics' Dr Sam Mejias and Liverpool University's David Jeffrey. Then we find out how Asian businesses view Brexit, with Rami Ranger, founder of Sun Mark and Jason Wouhra, director of East End foods. After this, we explore Asian attitudes towards migrants from the European Union, with Rakib Ehsan from Royal Holloway university, student Arif Rahman who voted to leave the EU, and Barbara Drozdowicz from the Eastern European Advice Centre. Plus we get the view from politicians, with Neena Gill , a Labour MEP for the West Midlands, Liberal Democrats' Kishan Devani, Freddy Vachla, London chairman for UKIP and Amandeep Singh Bhogal, a Conservative activist and Leave campaigner. Also, our reporter Shabnam Mahmood is in Bradford, to talk about relations between local Asians and Eastern Europeans.
