UB40 on stage at the Together Alliance march, "We were all born in the 1950s, that was the time unions were strong, my dad was a factor worker, and we had the NHS, council houses, and it was a great time for the working class" "We all grew up in inner city Birmingham, it was a melting pot. You could sit on your doorstep and see teh four corners of the world go by" "Members of the band were the first generation of Black British. Their parents came over in the Windrush convoy. We went to school together" "And we remember Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech" "We remember when the Tories using posters saying: if you want a coloured person as your neighbour, vote Labour" "We also remember the rise of the national front. Policies to force repatriation of people from the Caribbean" "Then we had the rise of the BNP in the 80s and the 90s" "Then we had the spivs and millionaires in UKIP" "And now we've got Reform UK" "Of course they're full of Tories, taking the toxic policies that UKIP had, and the National Front promise of forced repatriation which is what Theresa May did in her government" "Over the years we've visited all kinds of places from America, Australia, Africa" "And one thing we've come to the conclusion of is that working people around the world have more in common with each other than they do with the elites and the billionaire class" "There are more of us than there are of them" "This has been such an amazing turnout, it's absolutely incredible" "In conclusion, I'd like to quote that great political philosopher, Wolfie Smith, and say" "Power to the people" Thank you @UB40OFFICIAL @UKTogetherAll 👏
