How angry you must be, Lee
That when you came to see, Lee
The criminals of Calais
They unlearned* all your English.
And took away your sight, Lee
So that you couldn’t see, Lee
The women and the children
The families and the hope.
Of safety and a land, Lee
Where they stand hand in hand, Lee
With those who care and help them
To build a better life.
So please rethink your words, Lee
Next time you go on TV
And stop your lies and hate, Lee
Just stop.
*whilst I understand that Mr Anderson may have used a regional dialect variation of the verb “teach” when speaking in his interview , I offer him the opportunity to reflect on whether he would also support the use of other non-standard variations by others speaking in a formal interview situation. Or is it possible that what is allowed for one in our “wonderful” country does not apply to all? Also, Mr Anderson may wish to consider returning to school for some geography lessons, in order that he can establish which countries lie within the African continent. I don’t think (but please correct me if I am wrong) that the Vietnamese families or Kurdish people that I met had come from the African continent?
