Economic Migrants
"Economic migrants" - a term that causes outrage
Readers of the Daily Mail see it searing off the page
They're appalled that people come here just to get a better living
Foaming mouths spew out opinions neither charitable nor forgiving
Tebbit, that darling of the right-wing press
Do you remember what he said?
When his dad was out of work he didn't mope around
Instead, he "got on his bike" to find a job to support his family
Isn't that what people are doing now?
That's not difficult to see
Is it really hard to understand?
What would you do if you lived in a land where a life of poverty was the expectation?
Wouldn't you try to change your situation?
It seems that for most people here this migration should be a one-way street
Where Brits can buy cheap homes abroad, retire and put up their feet
Or businesses set up there to exploit favourable conditions
There's no sympathy for those in very different positions
