Poem that spells it out............

Next time you hear someone claim that immigrants are destroying Britain, show them this clip. Spoken word poet Hollie McNish spells out, in a poem called 'Mathematics', what’s wrong with most of the arguments used against immigration. I do like this ranty form of poetry and I think the style suits the subject matter. She cuts through the lies and misinformation and reflects the anger I feel at the naiveté of many of the views about immigration promulgated by irresponsible politicians and tabloid newspapers. Their xenophobia should be challenged at all opportunities.
