Yassmin Abdel-Magied, an activist and writer, has received a furious letter from a British woman pleading with her to leave the country because of her remarks on the Union Jack flag.
The tangible letter Ms. Abdel-Magied received explaining why her remarks regarding the British flag were’very insulting’ was posted on Twitter by Ms. Abdel-Magied.
In reaction to Ms. Abdel-comments Magied’s regarding the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration, the letter was written.
The activist described the abundance of Union Jack flags in her adopted country as a “waking nightmare” as the monarch marked her 70th year on the throne.
The activist was accused of being a “architect of societal conflict and division” by the “extremely aggrieved indigenous British woman” in the letter she wrote to Ms. Abdel-Magied.
In the letter, it was said that “our country, which you denigrate, has provided you a home, chances, and the right to sprout your vile comments—which I found quite unpleasant.”
The protester was then questioned about why she wouldn’t move if she was offended by the display of British flags.
In the letter, it was stated, “Please, don’t let us stop you. I’m sure your fellow countrymen/women would love for you to return home and support them.”
“Freedom of expression? Don’t allow the door smack you in the behind as you exit. Australian a little, huh?
The message was posted on social media by Ms. Abdel-Magied along with a number of smiling face emojis.
Not a British woman who took offense and wrote me a harsh letter because she didn’t like one of my tweets. You everyone, a real tangible letter,” she wrote.
When Ms. Abdel-Magied dragged the Queen’s Jubilee celebration, she received a barrage of criticism.
Man, no. A nice, charming British custom is bunting. You will, like I did when I lived there, want for a bright bit of fabric waving regretfully in the damp once you’ve experienced a few more winters and non-summers,’ one person commented.
Another person responded, “If you don’t like it, go; don’t go back to Australia.” It’s wonderful news that you are renunciating your Australian citizenship.
Why do you think some flags are like “a waking nightmare,” said a third.
When she was 18 months old, the ex-ABC presenter traveled from Sudan to Australia. She later left for England after sparking controversy with a social media post commemorating Anzac Day that read: “Lest. We. Forget. (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine)” on April 25.
Later, she expressed “unreserved” regret over the post.
Talking about a Revolution, a compilation of fresh and previously published articles on resistance, change, and revolution, was published by Ms. Abdel-Magied last month.
Her book also speaks on the concept of identity from a migrant by ancestry, and by choice.
