Live Mock Trial - The verdict

The UK Government was put on trial at our live, mock trial.  The charge: failure to comply with European Regulations with regard to the treatment of Roma economic migrants seeking to establish themselves in the country.   The audience of c.40 was the jury.  The verdict:  UK Government found guilty.  See the full court line up below... And a great new song capturing the plight of the Roma...

"Wherever I am I am home

wherever I stand I don't stand alone

when I look inside myself

I'm aware of who I be

I belong to the world

the land of the free

we try to fit in society

but we don't want to play 

with their fraternity

I'm on a different radio frequency

and far more deeper than A-Z

my story is a mystery

and the guys who don't know me

Me som Romano shavo (I'm a Romani lad)

hai chi som korkorro (and I'm not alone)

hai me birav sim khere (I have a right to be at home)

av putiera pe tele[?]  

Hai dikh murro traiio (just look at my life)

We have travelled the world 

on the darkest night

looking for a friend

in the candlelight

we do our best to understand

and learn the language of the land

we try not to judge

the lion's in the sand

pointed fingers in my face

so I'm moving on to a different stage

I'm rejected by society 

'cos I'm living my life and I am free

Sostar si Romani bax ka savi [?] (why is Roma luck as it is?)

murri historia si parni (my story is white)

Me som Romano shavo 

hai chi som korkorro

hai me birav sim khere

av putiera pe tele[?]

Hai dikh murro traiio

Somebody help my wife and my baby

it's cold we have no place to stay

the drummers are drumming 

the footsteps are coming closer

and we're running away..."
