Kele - A Day Of National Shame lyrics
[Kele - A Day Of National Shame lyrics]
When my parents in their
Generation arrived in
This country, under the
Nationality Act of 1948
they arrived here as British citizens
It is inhumane and cruel for so
Many of that Windrush
Generation to have suffered so long in this
Condition and for secretary of
State only to have
Made a statement today on this issue
Can she tell the House how many have been
Detained as prisoners in their own country?
Can't she tell the House how many have been
Denied health under the
National Health Service?
How many have denied pensions?
How many have lost their job?
This is a day of national shame
And it has come about
Because of a hostile environment policy
That was begun under her, prime Minister
Let's call it as it is! If
You lay down with dogs, you get fleas!
And that is what has happened with
This far-right rhetoric in this country!
