Auntie’s headlines, written by talented people

with an awsome bent for creative writing,

create consent for anything, with their lies,

for genocide and ethnic cleansing, torture,

illegal invasion, theft of homes and land,

all at the expense of the British tax-payer,

(no, not the obscenely rich, they don’t give a damn!)

but the poorest, who can’t cough up for hospital beds,

they can afford bombs dropped on babies’ heads!

 

For over a century, dehumanised Palestinians,

have been despised, demonised, “disappeared”,

their culture destroyed by corrupt money and power

in the sewer of the corporate media, used to promote

the fascist “ideology of fear”.

Palestinians, Muslims, protesting Jews and their friends

have been oppressed for years by cowardly thugs,

their rights ignored and mocked by corporate hacks,

by shills who’re paid to help with “mowing the lawn”.

 

Who was it then, that Tory donor who said

a black female Labour MP made him “want

to hate all black women”, that “she should be shot”?

And which Energy Minister was it who warned

against “cancelling anyone who ever said anything”?

Yes, moral hysteria’s broken out in Blighty,

the pearl-clutchers protest now, in faux outrage,

at “hurty words” uttered in angry protest,

against the murder of innocent women and babes.

 

On Geeby Beebies and Talk Tripe TV

The gammon chuck their toys out of their prams,

Patriotic apoplectic fits

have them spitting out their dummy tits,

“They want to take away our freedom of speech,

the whip-hand should be ours, we’re the master race!”

while they turn a blind eye to genocide and rape,

oh, they’re cut to the quick by Kneecap’s hurty words

but starving two million Palestinians is fine,

The BEEB and RTÉ keep mum about them,

they’ve more important things to worry about

than them brown folk who refuse to settle down:

imagine’em coming here, invading our town!

Don’t let them buggers piss on our parade,

‘cause “yeah, we won the war; on V.E. Day

shout Victory! Hip hip hooray, hooray!”.

Oh yeah, Great Britain lives by Auntie’s motto,

“Nation shall speak peace unto Nation”,

but while two million Palestinians starve,

the BBC and RTÉ keep mum,

whilst the arms-race-rich glug Champers and get blotto,

our truth glass, though half-full is better than none,

so celebrate the peace that’s truly won,

let’s help our lads bomb Palestinian babes,

yes, cough up folks, for a few more thousand tons,

yeah, “Nation shall speak peace unto Nation”.
