SIR - To the anonymous letter-writer re: London Colney Mosque.

And I did not speak out

Because I was not an asylum-seeker.
Then they came for the immigrants,
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an immigrant.

And I did not speak out
Because I was not part of the underclass.
Then they came for me,
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
