0:00:01.334,0:00:05.545
He said "those god damn Pakistanis
and their goddamn corner shops
0:00:05.545,0:00:08.385
Built a shop on every corner [br]took our British workers jobs"
0:00:08.385,0:00:12.200
He said "those god damn Chinese [br]and their goddamn china shops"
0:00:12.200,0:00:15.867
I told him they're from Vietnam [br]but he doesn't give a toss
0:00:15.867,0:00:18.693
I ask him what was there [br]before that damn Japan mans shop
0:00:18.693,0:00:22.791
He looks at me and dreams a scene [br]of British workers jobs
0:00:22.791,0:00:26.018
Of full time full employment [br]before the godamn boats all came
0:00:26.018,0:00:29.908
Where everybody went to work full time, [br]four weeks, every day
0:00:29.908,0:00:33.479
"A British Business stood there first" [br]he claims "before the Irish came"
0:00:33.479,0:00:37.151
Now British people lost their jobs [br]and bloody Turkish, they're to blame"
0:00:37.151,0:00:40.725
I ask him how he knows that fact [br]he said because it's true
0:00:40.725,0:00:45.122
I ask him how he knows that fact [br]he says he read it in the news
0:00:45.122,0:00:48.116
"Every time a Somalian comes here [br]they take a job from us"
0:00:48.116,0:00:51.122
"The mathematics one for one,[br]from us to them it just adds up"
0:00:51.122,0:00:55.893
He bites his cake, he sips his brew [br]and says again he knows this plot
0:00:55.893,0:01:00.064
"The god damn Carribeans came[br]and now good folk here don't have jobs"
0:01:00.064,0:01:03.265
I ask him what was there before [br]the god damn Persian curtain shop
0:01:03.265,0:01:06.353
I show him architectures plans [br]of empty god damn plots of land
0:01:06.353,0:01:08.802
I show him the historic maps[br]A bit of sand, a barren land
0:01:08.802,0:01:12.785
There was no god damn shop [br]before the Pakistani came and planned
0:01:12.785,0:01:17.421
Man, I am sick of crappy mathematics[br]Cos I love a bit of sums
0:01:17.421,0:01:21.197
I spent three years into economics[br]And I geek out over calculus
0:01:21.197,0:01:22.980
And when I meet these paper claims
0:01:22.980,0:01:25.992
That one of every new that came[br]Takes away ones daily wage
0:01:25.992,0:01:30.360
I desperately want to scream[br]"Your math is stuck in primary!"
0:01:30.360,0:01:32.401
Cos some who comes here also spend
0:01:32.401,0:01:34.162
And some who come here also lend
0:01:34.162,0:01:36.108
And some who comes here also tend
0:01:36.108,0:01:37.450
To set up work which employs them
0:01:37.450,0:01:40.404
And all your balance sheets and trends[br]they work with numbers not with men
0:01:40.404,0:01:43.751
And all this god damn heated talk[br]Ignores the trade the Polish brought
0:01:43.751,0:01:47.488
Ignores the men they gave work to[br]Not plumbing jobs but further too
0:01:47.488,0:01:51.483
Ignores the guys they buy stock from[br]Accountants, builders, on and on
0:01:51.483,0:01:54.732
And I know it's nice to have someone[br]To blame our lack of jobs upon
0:01:54.732,0:01:57.976
But immigration's not that plain[br]Despite the sums inside your brain
0:01:57.976,0:02:01.391
As one for one, as him or you[br]As if he goes, they'd employ you
0:02:01.391,0:02:03.114
Cos sometimes one that comes makes two
0:02:03.114,0:02:04.757
And sometimes one can add three more
0:02:04.757,0:02:08.020
And sometimes two times two [br]is much much more than four
0:02:08.020,0:02:10.016
And most times immigrants bring more
0:02:10.016,0:02:11.661
Than minuses.
