14 Years of Cuts!!

You can’t undo that in 5 minutes!

It’s going to take a lot of money!

They Fiddle (expenses and taxes) while Rome burns!

As the Tory Party decays into its own pool of sleazy slime, languishing in a stench of cronyism and corruption, the country sinks into decay.

So much for sunlit uplands and lower prices!

We are trapped in a cauldron of inflation, cost of living crisis, energy crisis, decaying hospitals and schools, desperate strikes, a ruined NHS, a transport System in disarray and greedy Tory donors , CEOs and foreign investors profiteering as they pick over the carcass.

BROKEN BRITAIN!! Thirteen years of cuts and austerity, of creaming off the top and total incompetence, of Brexit lies and endless propaganda has brought Britain to its knees!

WE’VE GOT ANOTHER BLOODY YEAR OF THIS!! We’ll have drowned in sewage by the time the election comes around!

The stench of decay is overpowering! What a bunch of inept self-serving, greedy Tory bastards!

Tory Corruption Finally Pays The Price

Tory Corruption Finally Pays The Price

Tories becoming desperate

Over the unravelling of their vote,

Risking complete annihilation in the polls.

Yesterday’s hero proving to be a contemptible

Clown; a lying, immoral chancer

Out for himself; out of his depth.

Relying on a string of untrue slogans and soundbites.

Reduced to a crooked party of sleaze,

Undeniably corrupt to the core,

Putting morality aside;

To arrogantly assume that people are stupid,

In their relentless pursuit of cash.

Overthrowing all decency as they

Nastily cut while handing out VIP lane contracts.

I’m enjoying doing these type of ‘poems’.

They have a ring to them.

It is good to see the Tories in such disarray. But it is incredibly sad to witness what a mess they have made of the country. They have truly left it in a terrible state.

Things were good when they came in but they have ravaged the public services with savage cuts so that everything is now in crisis.

They have used austerity to drive down salaries while giving massive handouts to the wealthy.

Arrogantly, as people seemed to continue to support them despite the incompetence, lies and corruption, they thought they could get away with anything. They made the same mistake as Trump. There comes a point where people turn and all the lies and propaganda cease to be effective.

Never have we seen this level of corruption and sleaze.

It’s truly criminal.

Where is the scrutiny and accountability?

Bang Those Pans

Bang Those Pans

Bang those pans

                For our heroes

Empty pans

                That should be full of food.

Bang those pans

                Pay rise zeroes

Empty pans

                From Ministers who are rude.

Bang those pans

                Empty gestures

Empty pans

                Born of austerity and cuts.

Bang those pans

                Unrest festers

Empty pans

                For those who served with guts.

Bang those pans, empty pans,

Empty promises, empty words,

Banging on, empty pay packets

Pay review – tell it to the birds.

Bang those pans

Bang those pans

Bang those pans

Why the hell were we banging pans??

In the midst of the pandemic when our nurses were working around the clock, risking their lives without adequate protection, short staffed, working double shifts, saving lives, holding the hands of the dying, some giving their lives, away from their families, we were out on our doorsteps clapping and banging pans.

The nurses, like the rest of the public services, scapegoated by the Tories as parasites because they don’t actually produce wealth.

Subjected to twelve years of austerity and cuts until they are reduced to using food banks.

What kind of world is this?

A world in which, at the same time, the Tories were holding their VIP lane criminality to award multimillion-pound contracts to their donors and friends so that people like peeress Mone were about to walk away with £29 million for doing nothing.

So what were we banging pans for?

To build a world fit for heroes? Or to support hypocrisy?

Tory WAR on Public Servants.

For twelve years the Tories have waged war on Public servants.

They have slashed services, cut pay and reduced working conditions.

The Cost of Living crisis has exposed the problem.

Our public servants, nurses, teachers, border staff, fire brigade, paramedics, ambulance service, police, civil servants and others have been backed into a corner. There are huge staff shortages which means their workload is through the roof.. They do not earn enough to support their family, put a roof over their heads, feed, clothe and keep warm.

The public servants are seen as parasites by the Tories.

They do not (directly) produce wealth – so they are viewed as second-class citizens.

The Public servants are not parasites. We saw that in the pandemic. Without a good NHS, education, police force, border control and civil service this country is buggered!!

Stop giving multi-million pound handouts to the wealthy and start paying working people properly.

The Tories don’t need them. They have their private health care. They use private security firms. They have private education. They live in gated communities. They travel first class.

The public services are for the plebs. The less they pay for them the better. The plebs are there to work for as near to nothing as possible, to be exploited and then conned into voting Tory by the tabloid press.

As for public services – who needs ’em?

I think the whole public sector should come together with other sympathetic workers and do a mass resignation. If all of those, recently deemed ESSENTIAL workers, were to walk away en masse we might just end up with a better, fairer, more equal society.

For twelve years we’ve had a Tory government stealing from the poor, needy and public services to give to the rich.

Most of that wealth is now in tax havens off-shore!

It’s time this was put right!

A general strike or a mass resignation!!

FAIRER BRITAIN!!

Without a good, well-resourced, well-paid public services this country is in a mess!! It won’t get right until we get out priorities right!

Stop reading the SUN, TELEGRAPH, MAIL, EXPRESS and TIMES!!! Lies and propaganda!
BROKEN BRITAIN!!

Poetry – Bribes and Lies

Bribes and Lies

Bribes and lies,

Hype and bravado,

More Bosch

Than they’ve got in the Prado.

Divided in hate,

Stoking the fire,

Populist tyrant

Thrown in the mire.

Democracy ditched

In a torrid coup

As Cummings’ thugs

Dissolve the glue.

General election

Or Brexit extension

As austerity crisis

Gets hardly a mention.

They think we’ll forget

The savage Tory cuts

As they sink the economy

And the country shuts.

Opher 4.9.2019

How do the Tories manage to persuade a substantial segment of the population to vote for them when they manifestly do not represent the interests of those people? Do they think everyone forgets the years when they have hammered both the poor and public services while giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

Stripping money from the Poor to give to the Rich!

Formed by the wealthy, for the wealthy and have been consistently screwing the poor for centuries.
