It's about the situation in Northern Ireland. On the one side hand you've got the British government trying to assure everyone that things will be just fine and everyone will be perfectly happy - while they do nothing to stop the violence between the loyalist and republican terrorist factions. And, of course, everyone else is caught in the middle - hence "domestic refugees" who "sink in the same boat as me". Basically, everyone's screwed.
