The Tory media can howl and put out its lies and propaganda but the grown-ups are in charge!
Liz Truss (who crashed the economy and put everybody’s mortgage up) sucks up to the far right and arrogantly says she would have done better.
Jeremy Hunt who helped destroy our public services says there’s no black hole. He’s delusional!
It’s the Tories who broke Britain!
You can’t fix damage like that overnight!
The Spider And His Web
Printed rags and Fox turds flexing incantations
Aussie hobgoblin overheard hexing nations
Championing antivaxers and climate change deniers
Fuelling hatred and division
Stoking the fires
Hacking cell phones and rifling bins
Inventing sleaze and fabricating sins
Huntsman at the centre of his threads
Spinning deceit with media-driven webs
Shopping for MySpace on the slide
Silicon Valley took him for a ride
Slithering towards the last gasps of life
Adorning himself with a trophy wife
Emailed his notice of separation
She burnt an effigy with indignation
Deadly nightshade disguised as burdock
A place in Hades for Rupert Murdoch
Thank you Dave!! He’s evil!!
Boats in the Channel Food on the Table
Small boats in the channel.
Everyone’s on strike!
A cost of living crisis.
A huge tax hike!
Tax loopholes for the wealthy
MPs profiteering
Nepotism, cronyism.
All our money disappearing.
Long queues at the ports.
Public services in crisis.
Delays and red tape
With soaring food prices.
The country’s in a mess:
VIP lanes and sleaze.
The architects of Broken Britain
Doing as they please!
It’s everybody else’s fault.
They never are to blame.
For us it’s trying to survive.
For them it’s just a game!
Opher 30.5.2023
These last thirteen years of Tory corruption and lies have been a complete disaster for the country.
They lied to us about Brexit.
They have imposed austerity on the poor.
The rich have never had it so good.
There is widespread corruption and sleaze.
They have one rule for themselves and one for everyone else.
Public services have been robbed and broken.
The poor and immigrants have been demonised.
They’ve been partying and having a great time while we were all locked up.
They’ve taken over the BBC.
They are pouring out a stream of propaganda.
They have driven out doctors, nurses, fruit pickers, midwives, HGV drivers, chefs, hotel staff, carers.
Driven down wages.
Britain only works for the rich.
They have made huge profits for themselves – pulling in millions.
Tories are a selfish, greedy, callous, unscrupulous bunch of profiteering conmen – not only that – they are incompetent too!
They have broken Britain!
Aversion to the Truth
Tories don’t like the BBC –
A dose of the truth.
They won’t appear
While it asks for proof.
Tories want to scrap it;
Replace with propaganda.
They hate being challenged
Having to speak with candour.
Unable to defend policy.
Caught out telling lies.
Attacking reporters with venom
Until democracy dies.
Anything that opposes them
They crush with vicious ire.
Destroying any institution
With everything in their power.
Tories don’t like the BBC –
A dose of the truth.
They won’t appear
While it seeks the proof.
Opher -17.1.2022
Distraction from the lawbreaking of Partygate!!
The NHS and the BBC are casualties in this culture war. Neither lend themselves to Tory greed and lawlessness.
Making money out of sickness – that’s the Tory way. the slow creep of privatisation is hampered while there is the BBC to expose them.
Telling lies without challenge is their aim.
They’ll only be happy when it’s a one-party state and they can exploit everyone without challenge.
The BBC is labelled leftish because it dares to challenge their policies and hold them to account.
Without any opposition in the media (little though it is at present) they know they can get away with anything. They can dismantle the welfare state, destroy the public sector and exploit the poor.
All that matters is power and wealth.
Democracy? Forget it!
The BBC is an obstacle to total domination. They prefer propaganda outlets.
The Winter of Democracy
Living in the winter
Of democracy
As factions stifle voices.
Dead leaves
Of hope
Blow among the garbage.
Fascism erupts
From the
Rotting corpse.
Conspiracy replaces truth.
Certainty replaces quest.
Fundamentalism
Emerges
As a black
And white scripture.
Those not with us
Are always wrong.
Education
Comes with a gun.
Intolerance
With a fist.
Freedom is a prison
Whose walls
Are closing in.
It’s the winter of democracy
Lies and fake news
Spin
For the fools.
17.1.2022
Watching the news as the Tories desperately spin the story. Red meat is thrown to the gullible. Throats are cut. Scapegoats selected.
Careers are ruined.
Anything but the truth.
The lust for power rules.
Operation Save The Big Dog is in full swing – Lie, obfuscate, cover, lie some more.
All singing from the same script.
If you say it often enough……..
Over in the States Trump trots out the same lies, holds the same rallies, cons the same people.
He spills his lies, conspiracy and spin and the fools lap it up.
Democracy??
Who cares for democracy??
This is the business of money and power.
There are no rules.
There is not a shred of truth.
The First Victim of War
We’re listening to the news
To find what we have in store.
Always a sanitised version;
Truth is the first victim of war.
We’re told the casualty numbers
So that we can keep the score.
We know that we can’t trust them;
Truth is the first victim of war.
The rich are making more money
Sanctions only hit the poor.
This is carefully hidden up;
Truth is the first victim of war.
The sight of those broken victims
Touches us to the core
But how much is propaganda?
Truth is the first victim of war.
Opher – 15.3.2022
We know we’re being manipulated but that doesn’t help much. You merely select the lies you prefer to believe.
The mainstream media has its agenda and that online shit is probably worse. Our cynicism is preyed on as conspiracy is mixed with fact.
Populist leaders lie through their teeth all the way to the bank.
Wealthy individuals buy the politicians and policies they want.
When there’s a war there is propaganda.
Better the devil you know.
I hope we won’t be fooled again.
Everything You Think
Everything you think you knew
Was fed to you
By us.
We control your every thought
All the things you bought
From us.
We tell you what to believe
Which lies to conceive
About us.
Every single thing you do
Is what we told you to
No fuss.
The very life you live
The gifts you give
From us.
We tell you how to vote
Who to promote
It’s us.
You no longer can tell the truth
All the proof
Comes from us.
Opher 3.9.2022
He who controls the news controls the minds.
He who owns the media can make the truth whatever he wants it to be.
He who writes the news makes the news.
Say it often enough and it’s true.
Spin it 180 degrees. Lies become truth.
It is the populist story of Bois Johnson, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Jaire Bolsonaro. They repeat what they think you want to hear. They control the message. They make lies true. They know you have short memories.
So he got all the big calls right. He got Brexit done. He got us through Covid. He was responsible for vaccination.
It’s all utter bollocks.
He forced through an extreme damaging Brexit in order to gain power. His short premiership will cost the country hundreds of billions.
He made mistake after mistake during covid costing thousands of lives.
The drug companies produced vaccines for profit and the NHS (which he had brought to its knees) administered it.
In this age of lies, spin and propaganda everything you think is being planted in your head by them.
We have Too Much Information
We don’t trust the government or the media.
It’s the truth that the wealthy are getting greedier.
That their corrupt ways are becoming even seedier.
The poor are forgotten and just becoming needier.
With QAnon spreading daft conspiracy,
Corruption, spin and political lunacy,
Intrusions on our phones into our privacy,
Who to trust is taking on immediacy.
Not believing what is written in the news,
Reported on TV or said in interviews,
People turn to the internet to reinforce their views.
Shrewd people manipulate items that they choose.
Truth and freedom can make a heady brew.
Government lies and spin has torn apart the glue.
So many people who don’t know what to do.
We have too much information and little of it is true!
10.2.2021
I think the media and politicians have brought this on themselves. Their lies, spin and bias have undermined the truth. Nobody trusts them anymore.
They do not believe what they are being told.
They turn to the internet to find the truth.
But they are fed more lies and conspiracy theories that are absurd.
They are being manipulated by shrewd operators and conmen.
Brexit, Trump and Erdogan, Bolsonaro and QAnon.
The world is flat, Trump is fighting alien lizards, there is no global warming, the holocaust never happened and they are eating babies on Capitol hill.
The deep state spread lies about the deep state.
The establishment pretends to be anti-establishment.
Billionaires pose as champions of the people.
The glue of society is becoming unstuck.
We are bombarded with information with no way of telling what is true and what isn’t or who is targeting us.
Too much information. Too little truth.
The Fog of Conspiracy
Rabid hordes of fascist muscle
Wave their flags and grip their clubs
Engaging in the racist hustle
In their camouflage scrubs.
The future of the country wanes
In reckless grinning idiocy
The sense of all logic
Consumed by a fog of conspiracy.
Opher – 9.1.2021
Fighting for freedom. No they are not. A bunch of racist thugs fighting for a fascist state, a racist state. They’re still fighting the Civil War. They want a white America ruling the world with black slaves fuelling the economy.
Their commander in chief pushes all the buttons, encouraging their madness, feeding lies and conspiracy while filling his bank account.
America is dissolving in a sea of madness.
