Hello Goodbye
A rosy glow adorns this morning’s sky,
today, we regulars pay our respects,
tomorrow, with an angel I will play.
A quiet bloke, he’d been around the world,
of Africa and engineering spoke,
of vintage motorbikes, and automatic cars,
the pros and cons of smart-or not-TVs,
of pacemakers, the NHS, and stuff,
and never took his little trilby off,
a different one from time to ...

Manifesto of Hope (with quote, not paraphrase)
Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth, like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!
(From the Masque of Anarchy by Percy Bysshe Shelley)
Below is what I consider to be a Manifesto of Hope, to whose motives and principles I wholly subscribe.
Public ownership of all public services and infrastructure, including ...

Screwed!
But sir, it wasn’t us, that’s so unfair!
We’ve only been in power for thirteen years,
It was those nasty Europeans, there,
Made of Britannia such a great pig’s ear.
It wasn't Hunt spelled with a C who wrote
That pamphlet saying “Kill the NHS”,
It was those forinners in small rubber boats,
That made the UK an omnishambolic mess.
Oh look at that, a dead cat in the street!

Jack's Story
First they came for freedom of speech, but I did not speak out
Because my sources told me what I wanted to hear,
Then they came for the Poor, but I did not speak out
Because I was not poor,
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, but I did not speak out
Because I was not a Trade Unionist,
Then they came for the Socialists, but I did not speak out

National Emergency: Life or Death Fight for the NHS!
General Strike Now!
Mick Lynch + Eddie Dempsey = Absolute Stars! "For the Many, not the Few in the Cayman Isles"
The NHS-hating Tory hypocrites said “clap”;
Like the fool that I was, in the cold at our door,
I cheered and I whistled for the Tory claptrap,
While those partying scumbags sicked up booze on the floor,
Set emergency alarms off; and the Met Plod did ...

In their desperation and duplicity they're proposing making mask-wearing part of the

I'D RATHER DIE THAN WEAR ANOTHER MASK!

War Declared on NHS
The NHS-hating Tory hypocrites said “clap”;
Like the fool that I was, in the cold at our door,
I cheered and I whistled for the Tory claptrap,
While those partying scumbags sicked up booze on the floor,
Set emergency alarms off; and the Met Plod did nothing!
I couldn’t go to cuddle my new little granddaughter,
The young and the old went un-mourned in their coffins,
Now the...

Etonian Gaslighters
But sir, it wasn’t us, it’s so unfair,
We’ve only been in power for nigh twelve years,
It was our friend le Putain, over there,
Made of the NHS such great pig’s ears.
It wasn’t Hunt spelled with a C who wrote
That pamphlet saying “Kill the NHS”,
It’s old gits, and those refugees afloat,
It’s them that’s got the UK in distress.
Oh look at that, a dead cat in th...
