Who Rules the UK?
Who rules the UK?
‘Not I’ said the poor man
Struggling to get by,
‘I live out my days
Until the day I die.’
Who rules the UK?
‘Not I’, said the comfortable
Investing all their shares,
‘I’m doing alright
I have no need to care.’
Who rules the UK?
‘Not I,’ said the politician
Who is bought and sold,
‘I just get to vote
The way that I am told.’
Who rules the UK?
‘Not I,’ said the Queen.
‘I am just a figurehead.
Of power
I do not have a shred.’
Who rules the UK?
‘Brussels!’ shout the Brexiteers,
Snarling as they speak.
‘We want that power back
We haven’t got all week!’
Who really rules the UK?
Silence from those who do;
Who own the press
And buy the power;
Who quietly smile
As they watch it go sour.
‘There’s profit to be made
From this pantomime charade!

The people who have financed Brexit have done so for their own selfish reasons. They don’t care about the country or the people. They only care about themselves.
Some of them are ideologues. Some of them are speculators. Some of them are mad.
We’ve all been used!
