Equality for all!!!
The Benefits of a Tory Brexit
- You get to queue for hours to get abroad
- You have red tape, delays and extra costs
- You can’t work, travel or study abroad without major obstacles
- The cost of labour has gone up so the cost of living has gone up
- We have massive costs with extra staff and facilities at borders carrying out unnecessary checks on goods and people
- We have huge lorry parks for delayed goods
- We have the break up of the UK with Northern Ireland and Scotland in dire straits
- We have food rotting in fields, fishermen losing their market, hotels and caterers with staff shortages, no carers, NHS staff shortages
- We have a loss of trade with firms moving abroad or going bust through delays, loss of markets or additional costs, tariffs, red tape and staff shortages.
- We have massive price increases in the shops and shortages of many goods.
- We are replacing, at great cost, cheap EU workers, with more expensive workers from Africa and India.
- We have worse trade deals with distant countries.
We do, however, have a lot of very wealthy people, like Rees-Mogg, who made a fortune out of it!!
Welcome to Tory Brexit!! The impoverished land of lies and deception. Guess how many million Boris Johnson will have made out of Brexit and his job as PM?? Watch all the money pouring in.
Ever been duped???
Poetry – Body Bags
Body Bags
They don’t look so tough in body bags,
Chucked carelessly in mass graves,
Blown to smithereens
In splatters.
Reality is a far cry
From the bravado and boasts
Posing with guns
In arrogant scenes
Now in tatters.
Bravery and strength
Do not repel bullets.
Where a shell lands
Is down to luck.
Anyone can stand tall
Pretend to be so macho
Aggressive talk and body pumps
Missiles don’t give a fuck.

All those young men signing up to go off and fight, so cocksure, but there’s nothing cool about fighting. The body bags are waiting. The missiles don’t care how tough you are. The mines will blow off your legs.
The world should have got past all that barbaric, primitive violence and stupidity. War is distilled terror and horror. Soldiers are pawns – nothing more!
Bravery is a farce. Neanderthal men are an embarrassment.
This is 2022. Wars are never won.
Honesty and Honour is Absent
Thatcher was bad enough but at least they weren’t as corrupt and dishonest as this bunch!
Poetry – Petulance defined
Petulance defined
Petulant, divisive, arrogant and vengeful.
He’s a man who wants to build a wall.
Narcissistic, belligerent and tyrannical.
Religious and conservative most hypocritical.
If he had his way he’d practice genocide.
But who he’d include he can’t yet decide.
Not the South Koreans or Russians for sure.
Probably just the people outside of his door.

Trump has become a tyrant, a totalitarian monster. He tramples over conventions, rights and laws.
Given more time he would completely dismantle the political system so that he could control everyone.
If you are not for him you are against him and you need crushing.
He’s a fascist.
Poetry – Birth
Birth
Genocide, larceny and slavery
The founding of a nation.
The red man and the black man
Exploitation, extermination.
Looking for a new life
Full of arrogant superiority.
With guns, whips and slipknots,
Possessing wealth the priority.
Born through rites of murder
And heartless cruelty;
Hypocrisy and fear;
Evading all penalty.
Hundreds of years have passed
But the attitude persists.
Throttling the very necks
Of anyone who resists.
Time to put it right
To make positive what might be.
To respect each other –
With a new era of equality.

The systems we have created are simply not functioning for the majority of people. There is far too much poverty around the world, far too much discrimination and exploitation.
A small elite have extreme wealth and control politics and governments. They buy politicians. They buy elections. They tilt everything their way and leave huge poverty and division in their wake.
Waiting for Sue Gray is like waiting for Godot!!
When the government believes it is above the rule of law we are in trouble.
When they control the media we are in trouble.
When they suppress protest we are in trouble.
We are heading towards Putin – oppression and suppression – and a one-party state.
Is Sue Gray tied up and gagged in a basement in Downing Street?

Poetry – My Existence is Questionable.
My Existence is Questionable.
My existence is questionable.
In a few billion years
No evidence will exist;
No bones,
No fossils,
Not even an impression.
Nothing of my life
Will be remembered
No word
Of any poem
Remain.
Not even a whisper in the wind.
Every atom
That ever sang in my blood
Sent a shock through my brain
Or supported me against the force of gravity
Will be free.
Some of me
Will find its way to stars
To explode through galaxies.
Some of my atoms
Might even incorporate themselves
Into another sentient being.
There may be other words.

How pointless everything really is. How inconsequential.
All our little lives, trivial pursuits, matters of life and death, war and power struggles, wealth and greed. Even the destruction of the entire planet is trivial compared to the immensity of the universe. Our whole galaxy is but a pinprick, a tiny speck.
All our gods, palaces, castles and cathedrals are worthless and insignificant.
Our thoughts, dreams, hopes and aspirations, our fears, worries, anxieties and traumas, our pleasures and pains – all melt into oblivion when death claims our memories.
Yet atoms are perpetual. That is marvellous!
‘I’m the fucking king around here and I’m going to do what I want.’ Bring your own Booze!!
I can’t stand Cummings but…………..
As he said: getting rid of the inept liar is – “sort of like fixing the drains”.
Dominic Cummings has said it is his “duty to get rid” of Boris Johnson as prime minister, describing it as “sort of like fixing the drains”.
Cummings revealed one of the most damaging No 10 lockdown gatherings, where Reynolds had emailed staff inviting them to drinks in the garden and to “bring your own booze”. Cummings has said Johnson was warned about the gathering, which the prime minister has admitted to attending but claims to have thought it was a work event.
The former adviser told New York magazine Johnson was driven entirely by what would be in the papers the next day. “In January 2020 I was sitting in No 10 with Boris and the complete fuckwit is just babbling on about: ‘Will Big Ben bong for Brexit on 31 January?’” he said.
Asked if it was fair that he was mounting a campaign to remove his former boss, Cummings said: “What’s fairness got to do with anything? It’s politics. All this is not fair. The fact that someone wins an election doesn’t mean that they should just stay there for years, right? If you’ve got a duffer, if you think someone can’t do the job, or is unfit for the job.
“You know, as he said to me: ‘I’m the fucking king around here and I’m going to do what I want.’ That’s not OK. He’s not the king. He can’t do what he wants. Once you realise someone is operating like that then your duty is to get rid of them, not to just prop them up.”
Cummings also told the magazine Johnson acted as if considering “what would a Roman emperor do? So, the only thing he was really interested in – genuinely excited about – was, like, looking at maps. Where could he order the building of things?”
Cummings said Johnson fantasised about “monuments to him in an Augustine fashion”.
