النكبةAl Nakba: Day 27,375 and Counting…
With client hacks,
quiet words in ears,
he loves the craic
at working lunch
with the journo sewer,
making numbers crunch,
his purging list,
is at the ready,
on power pissed
he’s biding time,
and keeping steady
the applecart,
election ready,
to be off like a fart,
the lobby’s man,
so quiet when
it suits him ...

Never Again Means Never Again-For Anyone!
Your Jewish Voice for Labour
is another voice for me,
a voice for cooperation,
a voice for good, not ill;
your Jewish Voice for Peace,
asks no more blood be spilled,
let your protests’ sound increase;
speak up my sisters, brothers,
for all humanity,
speak out against vile smears,
against hypocrisy,
speak out against apartheid,
Mandela was correct:
our freedom...

Just to make myself perfectly clear from:

"To be a Jew means always being with the oppressed, never with the oppressors.”
Marek Edelman – last surviving leader, Warsaw ghetto uprising.
By way of contrast, this from Ntanyahu: “Israel is not a state of all its citizens… [but rather] the nation-state of the Jewish people and only them”. Israel...

Bread and Roses for All (re-post with open letter to Labour NEC)
Bread and Roses for All
One swallow will not our glorious summer make,
Nor red-tied frauds, true friends of labouring folk:
No friend of mine can love Apartheid’s yolk,
More swallowed lies, our nation’s heart will break:
Britannia’s future guard, for our Children’s sake,
Compassion’s spirit we must now invoke,
Let zeal for justice fill our Hearts of Oak,
Lest fate make any ...

Bread and Roses for All
My original intention had been to write a humorous poem around the proverbial swallow, and words such as pint, summer and lies etc.
But with the UK now being in a world of deepest doggy-do, and with a Starmerite (his dad was a tool-maker don’t you know!) purge of genuine Socialists under way, I thought I’d try to write a sonnet whose tone reflects the dire straits in which British cit...

Lover of South African Apartheid
No warning did I ever get,
That I really should have been born white,
Before the shooting and the bombing,
That ruined our economy.
How silly of me to not be white,
What’s more, I’m not indigenous;
My adoptive dad’s lived there for years,
He’s white (but not indigenous),
And a fluent speaker of the Queen’s English,
So I guess he ticks all the right boxes.
I’d love to...
