Refugees -which way do you read it ?

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

I agree it's clever but a very sensitive issue & influenced a lot of people over here in the way they voted in the stay leave vote

Auf Wiedersehen - were they illegal immigrants stealing work from the the German locals - lowering wages - or entrepreneurs finding work overseas?

Thirds played their home games at Cathkin Park (the second Hampden Park) in the south-side of Glasgow. The club was also a founding member of the Scottish Football League, in 1890 and would change their name to 'Third Lanark AC in 1903, when official links with the military were severed.

Getting back to the OP's thread this guy seems to have accepted his way of life. Listen from 1:17 minutes for his take on racialism
