Mohammed “Darin” Ahmed, 47, was horrified when he arrived at the Poseidon Fish Bar to find the shutter had the word “England” daubed on it in white paint.

The businessman, who has three children aged nine, seven and three, fled Iraq to escape dictator Saddam Hussein almost three decades ago.

He says he loves England but is now fearful for the future.

Darin, of Doncaster, South Yorks, said: “This is very hurtful. People are being brainwashed by the likes of Nigel Farage. Of all the shops, they targeted me.
