Never Mind the Bollocks!
She’s too white!
He’s too ginger!
She’s too rich!
He’s too rich!
She’s too black!
He’s too white!
She’s too slim!
He’s too fat!
She’s not white enough!
He’s not fair haired enough!
She’s not black enough!
He’s not auburn enough!
She’s not rich enough!
He’s not rich enough!
I’m not rich enough,
‘Cos I don’t write enough Murdochian bollocks!
You’ve too much time on your hands,
So you keep buying my bollocks!
You keep reading my bollocks!
And believing my bollocks!
Meanwhile your next-door neighbour,
An NHS nurse with two school-age children,
You know the one?
The one we all clapped for like idiots?
You know the lass-
The one who looked after that lad?
The lad who had that serious accident at work?
But who is now back at work?
Thanks to that “whingeing,
“lefty, trouble-making” NURSE,
She’s officially classed by HIS MAJESTY’S GOVERNMENT as:
“Working in Poverty”,
She has to choose between heating
And eating for her children.
But who gives a flying fornication eh!
As long as you keep
Buying and reading my Murdochian bollocks,
It’ll keep your mind off that
“Whingeing, lefty, trouble-making” NHS NURSE,
Precisely what HIS MAJESTY’S GOVERNMENT want!

I think that this poem hits the spot, Uilleam. Yes, others have the right to read Murdoch's rubbish but in our free society we also have the right to say that it is rubbish, and repeatedly, in a loud voice.
