Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

The Daily Mail, at the ERGs command

Arose to print its stain

To become the charter of the land

And the Daily Express sang this strain:

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

Other nations more blessed than thee

Who made their tyrants fall;

While we are subjected to the ERG

With Johnson ridiculed by all.

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

Still more majestic did they rise

While our dreams went up in smoke.

As the loud blast that tears the skies

Gives our last hopes a poke.

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

The haughty ERG did you tame

Their attempts did bend thee down.

Brought the nation to its knees

Led by the greatest clown.

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

To thee belongs the greatest shame;

Thy cities desolate with grime;

Zero hours shall be your gain

And your lives be filled with crime.

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

The Muses, with no freedom found,

Are filled with great despair.

Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crowned,

Betrayed by the greediest there!

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

Rule the Tories! The Tories rule you knaves!

Britons forever ever ever shall be slaves!

I bet not many people know the actual words of this great bit of jingoism. All they bellow out is the chorus.

We were sold a pup by the right-wing Tory ERG. They made a killing out of Brexit and vented their racist spleens. With lies about sunny uplands and ready-made deals they broke Britain. Now they are making their millions while we pick up the tab. The nation is far poorer and our reputation ruined.

We allowed a clown to lead down the road to disaster with a haughty toff stuffing millions into his offshore tax havens. The promises were lies.

With zero hours, cuts and austerity we’ve been thrown into an existential cost of living crisis. While we freeze and starve the clown and the toff are stuffing hay into their loft.
