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.

Employ more Police

Employ more Police

They’d better employ more police

                Cos we’ve got nothing to lose;

We’ll have to fight back.

It’s a divided world,

                Giving us the blues,

Gotta give these politicians the sack.

Which side are they on?

                It’s us that vote them in!

A bunch of self-serving liars!

Two-faced and deceitful;

                Promises ooze out of their skin.

Supported by the shires.

We can see who they represent

                As the rich get ever richer;

The poor starve and freeze.

Superyachts and dirty slums,

                Yes we get the picture.

Time to get off our knees.

Yet time and time again we vote them in

                As they tell us one thing, then do another

Siphoning the cash in one direction.

Time to kick them all out!

                To look out for our brother

And start the insurrection!!

They promise the earth and always do the same – look after themselves and the rest of the elite.

So the Tories tell us that it’s global factors beyond their control as their assembly line churns out billionaires and paupers.

The rich have never had it so good – the cash is flooding in. The poor have never had it so bad, huddled in the cold, eating from food banks.

Always nothing to do with the government – factors beyond their control.

Unfairness and inequality rules.

People are fools.

They still love Boris though they can see he’s a self-serving lying conman. They still love Trump though he’s taken everything he can and given billions to his chums. They still support a system that creates billionaires at the expense of death and poverty.

While a tiny elite gather in more than they could ever need the vast majority scratch a living out of what’s left. They give us just enough to keep us quiet.

But the gap is growing, yawning, widening as the poor are squeezed and the rich become bloated beyond reason.

This is the system they are selling us. It’s called capitalism.

They tell us there is no choice. The media scream it.

Socialism never works. Fairness and equality is failure. The poor deserve to be poor and the rich deserve to be rich. It’s for the best.

They dangle the impossible carrot that you can be like them! It’s a lie! Who would want to be? It’s immoral. It’s disgusting. You’d need to be a monster to know that you are responsible for mass suffering.

So as the wealthy, greedy bastards ransack the planet, destroy the forests for profit, rape the seas and sell us their baubles, we pick up the bill.

Equality and fairness are a dream.

Time to rebel!!

Strikes Strikes Strikes

Strikes Strikes Strikes

Nothing works

                From one end to the other.

We’re all on strike!

                There is no one to cover.

Not enough to buy the food

                Not enough to heat the house,

To feed the kids

                Or feed the spouse.

Twelve years of cuts

                Has eaten life away.

A fair day’s work

                For a fair day’s pay.

                                Unfortunately,

                                                Not the Tory way.

Plenty for the Tory donors

                Plenty for Tory Lords

Nothing for the worker

                From the pay review boards.

Nobody is listening.

                The Tories just don’t care.

The country is wrecked by strikes.

                We’re not going anywhere!

The heart of the problem

                Are the cuts and austerity.

Giving to the rich

                Creating poverty.

Opher – 3.1.2023

Isn’t it obvious?? For twelve years the Tories have been cutting the pay of the poor to give to the rich.

They run out of anything to cut.

When you can’t put food on the table or heat the house what are you meant to do?

The world’s fifth largest economy can’t afford to pay its workers a fair wage. That says everything about priorities.

There’s plenty of money for bankers, for peeresses and donors – but none for hardworking people.

Bang your empty pots and pans for the key workers. Maybe the noise will fill their stomachs.

Social Care and broken promises.

We will fix Social Care once and for all with a plan we already have.

a. There was no plan.

b. There still is no plan

c. He is taxing the poor and pensioners to pay for a botch

Instead of taxing the wealthy, who have had an absolute bonanza this last two years; instead of stuffing up the tax loopholes and stopping the exodus of money to the Cayman Islands tax free, he is making those he has been imposing pay cuts and austerity on pay.

Tories – from the rich and for the rich!!

So:

No raising of taxes

No taking the triple lock off pensions

The Cost of Boris Johnson – To the nearest £10 Billion – A £100 Billion?? A lot more than £100 billion??

I was wondering how much Boris Johnson has actually cost the country? The cost must be in excess of £100 billion if not more.

We’ve had the Brexit fiasco – the billions in lost exports, the billions in damage to the financial services, the billions in lost jobs and firms going bust, the billions in lost exports, the fishing industry, the cost of the extra red-tape and border checks (thousands of extra customs people), the extra bureaucrats and lawyers, carparks, facilities, welfare. It’s been hidden up with Covid. I wonder if we’ll ever know how much? Year after year for ever.

The result is price rises, cuts, austerity and redundancies. Was it worth it?

Then we have the ineptitude of the Covid response – £37 Billion on a useless Track and Trace, billions on a useless app, Billions to cronies for useless PPE, 127,800 deaths. The cost of lockdown.

It didn’t have to be like that. Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Vietnam and others have not suffered the same. They shut borders and locked down in time. They are operating normally.

How much has the imbecile cost us?
