"Get some in"

 

Porky Pigs in Porton Down

took a bullet for the Crown.

All our wounds look the same

the pigs are dead the men are lame...

 

Argies beneath trench duck boards

cut to meat by youthful hordes,

there were no geese upon the green

when sun came up, the slaughter seen...

 

Again, we're getting battle ready

our leaders brash, drunk faux-heady,

building ships, crafting hate

collectively whipping up The State...

 

I am nonchalant about

all the shite they scream and shout,

because we've been here be-fuckin-for

trigger happy for a War...

The sight that always offends me is when political leaders don the forces uniforms/battle dresses etc to pose for the press in a polished up tank or something similar (Maggie in her desert storm type gear for example).

David you always write about war stuff with the venom that you have rightly earned the right to use. To me this Labour lot are like feathers in the wind. God knows where we’re going.
Well done!

Hi, David,

Again, that's just about every reason I keep my hearing protection close at hand in public spaces...

I worked with a female a few years ago who started running her mouth about how she couldn't wait until doomsday. All I could think was, "yeah.  You're afraid of bees so you should probably stfu."

.. not a pleasant but a necessary topic to discuss now and again.

btw, I don't think you could have found a more fitting song than "Rooster", though I suspect that some wouldn't get it even if you knocked 'em upside the head with it. I would really love to see the other song you chose, too...

Our maxim at work was: “when in doubt, make a brew”.
The establishment’s maxim is: “when morally / economically bankrupt, manufacture consent for war”.

Military Keynsianism’s the thing - nothing unites a nation like a lovely war - and just think how all that Union Jack bunting in our streets will gladden the hearts of the homeless as they cheer at the victory parades.
You know it makes sense!
