Porky
This is the age of the porky;
This is the age of the lie.
Big men who wield power
No longer even try
To utter one word
Which might just be true.
They know they don’t need to;
They’re laughing at you.
They’re laughing at you
Because you lap it up,
As if you read tea leaves
In their plastic cup.
They make up the numbers,
They make up the quotes,
They’re act like musicians
Who won’t play the notes.
But none of this matters
If black becomes white,
And checking the facts
Is seen to be spite.
How many fingers
Do I hold up, please?
Give me the right answer,
Or get down on your knees.

They're laughing at us because their propaganda's "Ideology of Fear" plays on our prejudices, it actually works.
We should fear the black man having "the Whip Hand", in Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech;
We should fear UKIP / Reform's "Men of fighting age in small boats";
and now Starmer, who's trying to outdo the lot of them, wants us to fear a "Nation of Strangers"! (I've not spoken to my next-door neighbour for months, I'd better check my doors and windows.😕)
