I see BASSA have been using the new england holocaust memorial poem again. I wondered if my alterations might be a more accurate representation of todays situation?
First they came for Highlands and Islands
Why should I speak up for I wasn’t based in the Highlands?
I remained silent
Then they came for Belfast
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t based at Belfast.
I remained silent
Then they came for BAR + Shuttle,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t BAR or Shuttle crew.
I remained silent
Then they came for Gatwick,
And I didn’t speak up because I was at Heathrow.
I remained silent
Then they came for me,
... There was no one left to speak out for me.
