Show Racism the Red Card 2011: The Jam Wars!

The
Jam
Wars!

As
we
know,
the

Ligh=es
are
small

and
weak!

Yeah,
they’re
like

the
size
of
a

scared
mouse!

Silence!
We’ve
got

a
leCer
from

them.

It
says:

“Although
we’re
small,

but
not
weak,

we
are
not
liCle
cheats!”

There
was
one
small

lighty
marmalade,

and
one
small

darky
marmalade

And
the
small
Lighty

Marmalade
whispered,

“Hi,
I’m
not
allowed
to

go
and
ﬁght
because

I’m
too
young”

Why
do
we

ﬁght
each

other?

Because
we’re
dark

and
tall,
and
you’re

short
and
fat!

No,
you
mean
you’re

tall
and
skinny,
and

we’re
just
made
in

the
right
way!

Let’s
go
talk

somewhere
else

so
the
grown-‐ups

don’t
hear.

Hey,
there’s
a

good
place
over

here!

Errgh!
There’s
lots
of

other
jams
in
here

(I’m
dehydra=ng!)

Look
here:
we’re
liCle

ones
—
and
so
are
they

so
let’s
just
have
some

fun!

Urgh
–
but
look

at
them
–
they’ve

got
funny
hats

and
clothes!

(I’m
dehydra=ng!)

No
we
don’t!

You’re
fat…

…and
your
hat’s

are
too
boring!

Stop
it!!
We
all

found
this
place,

and
let’s
share
it.

My
mum
and
dad

are
ﬁgh=ng

against
The

Apples

And
my
mum

and
dad
are

ﬁgh=ng
against

The
Colourful

Hats

Us
Darky
Marmalades

are
ﬁgh=ng
against
the

Lighty
Marmalades

That’s
weird.
We’re

all
ﬁgh=ng
against

each
other

Please
help
us.
We

need
to
stop
them

OK,
let’s
go

everyone

STOP
THIS

RIGHT
NOW!!!

I’ve
been

sharing
that
box

over
there
with

a
Lighty

And
Darky

Marmalades
are
ﬁne

Let’s
all
share

the
cupboard

together

And
with
all
our

other
friends
too.

They’re
not
even

Marmalades!

It’s
much
cosier

in
here
with

everyone!

I
think
it
would
be
quite

cold
with
only
one
kind

of
Marmalade!
