It’s Christmas time! A nice Christmas ditty to the tune of Mistletoe and Wine.

It’s Christmas time.

A holiday from crime.

Politicians’ still dreaming of stealin’ a dime.

With war in Ukraine and Covid at large

Money’s to be made while they’re in charge.

Weapons to be made

Covid’s slow to fade

If you’re a Tory donor you’ll make the grade.

Contracts to be given, favours called in

Putting hay in the loft as the starving kids sing.

Power and wealth:

It’s all about self.

They pretend to care, while destroying our health.

The people are starving, with strikes all around

Their doors are open, but food banks abound.

It’s Christmas time!

Corruption and crime!

Politics has become one big pantomime!

Look out behind you, they’re stealing the props!

No-one to call for, they’ve bought off the cops!

It’s Christmas time.

A holiday from crime.

Politicians’ still dreaming of stealin’ a dime.

With war in Ukraine and Covid at large

Money’s to be made while they’re in charge.

I couldn’t resist writing my own little ditty to the tune of Cliff Richard’s ‘Mistletoe and Wine’.

Life in Broken Britain as the Tories continue to plunder the public services and rob the poor – pandering to the elite in return for wealth and power.

We live in the world of food banks, warm hubs and frozen opportunities while Tory donors stuff millions overseas in tax havens.

Corruption rules and pays.

Like Cameron, Osborne and Rees-Mogg before him the disgraced Johnson rides off into the dusk to put hay in his loft as if he has done no wrong.

These people live the life of Riley while leaving squalor in their wake.

They have destroyed the country but are profiting greatly from doing so.

It’s Christmas time! Corruption and crime! Politics has become a big pantomime!

Look out! Behind you!

Servants of the People

Servants of the People

It’s never the people who create war,

                They just die for the cause.

It’s the leaders who serve the people

                Who take the applause.

Protectors of the nation,

                                They give their orders loud and clear

                For us to die for our country

                                No price is too dear.

Psychotic, paranoid narcissists;

                They prepare the people well.

Ratcheting up fear and propaganda

                Before blowing them to hell.

They are supposed to be our servants,

                Though you’d never guess.

They think they are superior

                But we clear up their mess.

These grandiose leaders

                Live in their opulent bubble.

Inflated opinions of themselves

                With us to sort the trouble.

It’s never the people who create war,

                They just die for the cause.

It’s the leaders who serve the people

                Who take the applause.

Opher – 3.5.2022

Standing for high office – it’s rarely the ‘normal’ folk. It’s people with big egos, narcissists with no doubts, psychotics and sociopaths who simply do not care and paranoid maniacs who are prepared to sacrifice the world.

Why can’t we be led by people who have compassion, who really do care, who are not drunk on power or lining their own pockets. Wouldn’t the world be a lot saner and better for everyone?

No. It never is.

They believe themselves superior. They think we deserve to be where we are. They are privileged; we should be humble and know our place. They know better than us.

They think they can exploit and manipulate us. They can give us as little as possible while taking for themselves and their chums. They think they can tell us what to believe.

Their arrogance and entitlement is sickening.

Yet we elect them, support them and help inflate their egos.

That’s why the world’s a mess. That’s why there’s war.

Fighting

Fighting

We fight for the land

For our families and freedom.

We fight for democracy

Against becoming a fiefdom.

We fight with fury

Resolute and determined

Never to be defeated;

Never undermined.

We have everything to lose

And everything to win.

It’s all or nothing

That’s what we’re risking.

This is existential!

There’s no room for compromise.

Putin can go fuck himself!

We’re through with all his lies!!

Opher – 7.3.2022

It is obvious that Putin has bitten off more than he can chew. Ukraine is not a pushover. They do not welcome Russians with open arms. They have taken up arms, constructed barricades, made Molotov cocktails and are preparing to fight to the death.

The troops have low morale, their forces bogged down, with generals being killed, tanks bogged down and planes shot out of the skies. All the Russians can do is lay siege and pound civilians with artillery and missiles from a distance. All the might of Russia is being shown up for what it is – bluster – a poorly trained ramshackle army with substandard equipment.

Kick out the War Criminals!!

Long Live Ukraine!!
