By Etonians, for Etonians


Korean ceramic pot with pointed handles. Old Wajil.
You can't say he didn't tell you
They're in it together.
Tailcoat banquets
Sanctioned dole cheques
They gave your tax breaks
To a fat cat in Sark.
Dark. I think of Lincoln
Don't buy it again
A government of Etonians
By Etonians, for Etonians.
They're in it together my friend.

DNA Rights!


The birds, the bees
The educated fleas
They all have love
Have fear and pain.

The flowers, trees
Even cultivated peas
Care for their children
Can flourish and gain.

Is it fear of our similarity
More valuable for singularity
More comforting in unkind disparity
All life deserves respect not charity.

Fight for life, by day and by night
For all upon earth, call DNA rights!

Google it


Look we can Google it
The tools are all in place

Just give MPs a Google account
And we can track their every pace
See their smiling face
Hear what songs they sing
And what company they grace.

Offer helpful suggestions
Prick their conscience
Pique their interest
Get prompt answers to those questions.

All for about £1300
We seem slow to understand
We have tools to control democracy
From the palms of our hands.

Sack em all put whitehall on a Wiki


You might say vote this one
Vote for that one because of that
But in truth, I'm not that picky
Sack em all, put Whitehall on a wiki.

Amateurs from out of town
Sent to London to watch the crown
Was a great idea in 1200 AD
But obviously
With the web we can sack em all
And put Whitehall on a wiki.

Some of them corrupt, lazy
Incompetent and such
Some of them be tax evaders
Eating the “double Irish- Dutch”
The solution is not tricky
We can sack em all
And put Whitehall on a wiki.

You want policy done by people who know what they're doing
MPs know about a lying and bring the country to ruin.
Before the situation gets any more sticky
We have to sack them all, put Whitehall on a wiki.

They will not sell the NHS


They will not sell the NHS
Trust me, I know best.

They'll sell the land beneath its feet
And cut the staff like fields of wheat.

You'll get every drug from N.I.C.E
Without a blink, at twice the price.

They'll bury it in a mound of debt
And all the while let's not forget

When you watch another hearse
It will all be paid from the public purse.

The free press


They fought and fled
In shackles died
To have books read
And town hear cry.

To make print free
Words cut and dry
So all decide
With their own eyes.

They fought and fled
In shackles died
And yet it seems
Under Sun and Sky
The free press now
Costs much to buy.

Voter


You say you love the country
Sing god save the queen
Recite the school taught history
Keep Great Britain clean.

Don't claim to be a patriot
You're an idiot.
Puppet for the global loaded
Fodder for propaganda bots.

Sons of empire
Will you get a price for her down river
Will they ever
Listen to you again.

Friend you're not a patriot
You're a short sighted
Destructive idiot.

Deceased in Smog

All's well that ends well
Sometimes the wise course is
A trouble to tell
But on counterfactual, conjecture
We should not dwell
Like @Jacob_Rees_Mogg choking
On the 19th floor
Of Grenfell's smoked filled stairwell.
