Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Somewhere close to Westminster Bridge, October 2023, lines written on hearing of a new presenter on GB News.

Earth has not anything to show more shit

Mad would she be of soul who could watch it

A sight so tragic, such a travesty 

This chancer now doth, like a varmint wear

The mask of a presenter, barefaced stare

Scandal, pandemic, the litany of lies

Indifferent, callous, let bodies pile high

Wittering trivia to the poisoned air  

Never did one so manifestly seep

Self important dross in the Daily Mail

Bollocks to experts, let the economy fail

Ne’er saw we, never felt, a sham so deep

He twists the world to his own grim will

Dear God! How could we have been so asleep;

And now on GB News he’s lying still!

I suppose it's marginally better than him being on Russia Today, or is it?

Thank you Greg & M.C. I really shouldn’t let him get to me, but he does…

Mad Nads will be over the moon. Not only Wordsworth, Shelley would probably have something to say about this, too. Nice work.

"Lying still"? Not yet he's not. But time will tell. I admire the
skill here but have reservations about the overall theme in the
context of the failures endemic in MSM.
