00:00Aren't you going to join the protest?
00:04Hello?
00:06Sorry, what?
00:08Yeah, yeah, hi. I'm listening to you, love.
00:11Yeah, there's a protest going on.
00:13Well, why am I going to join, love? I've got a job to do.
00:18Well, this is your job.
00:21You're a person like me. We're people of colour.
00:24What do you mean this is my job?
00:27It's happening in the neighbourhood, in the city.
00:30It's happening today. It's happening right now.
00:33It's really important.
00:34I mean, are you finally going to be able to, like, counter this racist?
00:39Are you staying at home, doing work?
00:43Well, okay, yeah. Well, I know it's important, but, like, my job is important as well.
00:49I've got a job to do, love.
00:52Yeah, but without immigration, you wouldn't have your job.
00:58Without immigrating to the UK, you wouldn't have the job. You're currently staying behind your...
01:03Hold a minute, yeah, love. Let me stop you there, yeah?
01:07If people want to protest here, that's fine for me, yeah?
01:12There's going to be hundreds of them, probably thousands of them.
01:15But with me just being in my house here, amongst a thousand other people, it's not going to do anything.
01:20So, like, if you want to go to protest here, that's fine. You can.
01:24You can't go do that. You've got the right to protest here.
01:26Every voice matters. You're playing at home.
01:28I just want to stay at home. I've got work to do.
01:32No, you need to join the protest, because without your voice, it feels like you're turning against what brought you
01:41here.
01:41Like, we're finally going to be able to counter these voices, and you're choosing to stay at home.
01:46It's not fair. It's not fair to the system that brought you in.
01:51It doesn't make sense staying at home today, because you could walk tomorrow...
01:55I fully get it, okay, yeah? But I've got a responsibility at home. I have a responsibility at home.
02:01And this is also your responsibility to stand up for what brought you in.
02:05It doesn't make sense staying at home. You have to come today.
02:08Okay. No, no, no, no. I fully get you, but... Yeah, yeah, okay, but...
02:12I fully get you, but with what the actual problem is now, I don't think it's actually affecting me.
02:18Oh! Oh, because it's not affecting you. It's... It's... Okay, tell that to the people in Mercy's side.
02:25Tell that to them. It's not affecting you, because by the time we let them keep having your voice,
02:31they're definitely going to come to Luton, and it will affect you if you don't come out now and join
02:35the protest.
02:40Yeah, but there's going to be a lot of other people there. It doesn't need me. It doesn't need me.
02:44I can stay at home. I can stay at home. I'll be perfectly fine.
02:48No! No! You don't need to stay at home today. You can work later. You can work in the evening.
02:54You can work at home anyway. But now that we actually need you outside, you're making some sort of a
02:59skill to stay at home.
03:04Come on. Listen, okay, if you want to go, you can go.
03:06I want to stay at home. I've worked. I have a job.
03:11A job? You could always get a job, even if the protest cost you. But like, this is the system
03:17that brought you in.
03:18This is... This is the reason you were able to come here, to find a better life, find better work.
03:23And now that same system is being threatened and you don't want to stand up for it.
03:27No! It doesn't work like that. It's unfair.
03:32Look, okay, you're twisting what I'm saying now. Okay, yeah.
03:36You don't have anything to say. You don't have anything to say.
03:38No, no, no. I do have something to say. I do have something to say. But what I'm actually saying
03:42is okay, yeah?
03:44The only thing what's going to happen if I go to the protest, yeah? Because remember, there's going to be
03:48thousands of other people as well, is I'm just going to lose money.
03:51You don't have a lot of trouble.
03:51Honestly, let's do that.
