What's Goin' On (Tragic Return)
Here's a little song you might know. Can you all sing along in the chorus?
I spent 11 years as an economic migrant, looking to better my prospects in London. Even though the work situation at home wasn't appalling, it felt like the right thing to do, a personal rite and part of a broader family tradition. I remember my uncle's letters from Newfoundland and the stories of other relatives that had lit out across the Atlantic. It's been a traditional thing and I would defend as a basic human privilege.
Meantime in South Belfast, thug law is running the show, directing the pogrom. Frightened kids in church halls and old men muttering to the cameras that the Romaniains "have no right to be here". Deep shame
