about

Sometimes, it's easy to forget just how nasty and spiteful & petty a "hostile environment" is in practice. The heartless suit & tie fascist responsible for ordering murals to be painted over in a reception centre for refugees invented a newspeak language to explain what was being done. "we" were "changing our signage"... the children were "breaking into our country"...you measured compassion by cost efficiency.

lyrics

JESUS IN HIS STAINED GLASS WINDOW,
SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN TO COME UNTO ME
BUT IF THEY COME IN LITTLE BOATS
WE’D RATHER LET THEM SUFFER ON THE DEEP BLUE SEA

NO MORE MICKEY MOUSE FOR YOU, KID, NO MORE MICKEY MOUSE FOR YOU

JESUS LOOKING BLONDE HAIRED & BLUE EYED
DID THOSE PLATES OF MEAT IN ANCIENT TIMES
MAKE IT TO SOME RUN FOR PROFIT SHIT HOTEL
ALL THE WAY FROM PALESTINE?

NO MORE MICKEY MOUSE….

THIS IS ENGLAND, LITTLE ENGLAND,
KINDER TRANSPORTS? DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH

I KNOW I SHOULD FORGIVE YOU MR JENRICK
BUT I FIND THAT REALLY HARD TO DO
WHEN YOU ORDER BRIGHT MURALS PAINTED OUT
TO MAKE SMALL CHILDREN FEEL UNWELCOME HERE

& ALL YOU
STUPID MEN IN CLEVER SUITS WHO BOAST
YOU’VE GOT A BETTER PLAN TO STOP THE LITTLE BOATS
WHY DON’T YOU
TAKE YOUR SHOES & SOCKS OFF,
ROLL YOUR TROUSERS UP
& GO & TELL THE WAVES, TELL THE WAVES
NO MORE MICKEY MOUSE…
