Gary Lineker made a short film last week to celebrate National Fish and Chip day. In the film Gary starts by saying, “Britain wouldn’t be Britain without Fish and Chips. A national institution!”
Then the food on the plate starts talking and explains to Gary that they wouldn’t be here without refugees;
“Have you ever thought about where I actually come from?” says the fish;
“You’ve got refugees to thank for me. I’m a bit Spanish, a bit Portuguese, 15th Century Jewish refugees bought me over.”
The chips then explain they came over with French refugees. And the first Fish and Chip shop was opened by a refugee called Joseph Malin in the 1860s.
Gary ends by saying, “Britain wouldn’t be Britain without refugees.”
Gary got lots of praise on social media for this film but some people said refugees were not welcome. One MP said if Gary was so concerned about refugees he should invite a refugee to stay in his house. So Gary contacted the charity “Refugees at home” to offer to host a guest.
- What is a refugee?
- Can anyone become a refugee? How?
- why is Fish and Chips a ‘British institution’, what does that mean?
- Battered fish originated in Spain and Portugal and chips were invented by Jewish refugees. Today there are fish and chip shops in every high street in Britain. What does this show about the benefits refugees can bring?
- Why do you think the MP asked if Gary was going to offer to host a refugee in his house?
- Why do you think Gary offered to do this?

What is the law about difference in the UK? (The Equality Act) What is a protected characteristic? Who is protected?
