F

 F

Farage’s fanatical followers
Flocked
Following fake Facebook
Fallacies flippantly forwarded
For fuckwits

Flag flying football fighters
Fell for Farage’s
Fear fraught fables
Felt fury
Fought floundering forces

Fireworks flew
Flames flared fiercely
Funeral flower folk flinched fearfully

Frog-face frets
Feels framed
Flustered

Fortunately for Farage
Florida’s fan-favourite
Fruit-faced
Future Führer
Forges fond fellowship

Fast-forward five
Finds flourishing Fararge
Fantasies fulfilled
Fronting fully fledged fascist federation
For foreseeable future

I'm Goin' to Clacton

 I’m going to Clacton

Reform canvassed by the seaside
Baited there without a doubt
Yarmouth Skegness and Clacton
Where the skint folk all hangout
I’m goin’ to Clacton
Only the sea is brown
Yeah I’m going to Clacton
The “Little” people’s town
Well come on down to Clacton
Smoke drink and wreck your health
Go shake the hand of the big-talking man
Make a sucker of yourself
Yeah go to Clacton
The clown’s on the pier
Minority snowflake woke factions
Had best keep clear
Whetherspoons is a heaving
People all but stoop and bow
Hearing and eagerly believing
In The Moon and Starfish now
I’m goin’ to Clacton
But I’ll be floating no boat
‘Cause I’m going to Clacton
Where Farage won the vote
People will laugh at you in Clacton
If you told ‘em what was on your mind
But if they tax wealth less like the contract says
Profiteers will rob you blind
Yeah go to Clacton
You big talking man
With your banner of distraction
And EU pension plan
Well Reform canvassed by the seaside
Bated there without a doubt
More crime and poverty in Clacton
Ever since they voted out
I’m goin’ to Clacton
Is Nigel coming back
From giving Trump satisfaction
I wish he’d got the sack
Reform canvassed by the seaside
Baited there without a doubt
Yarmouth Skegness and Clacton
Where the skint folk all hangout

Five Years

Five Years

Conmen, gifting everywhere;
So many farmers sighing;
Queues miles long at Dover;
We’ve got profiteers power supplying;
Hard right’s taking over;
The left is clearly dying;
New guy says we’re Labour led,
But no one’s really buying;
I saw populists, elected by gullibility;
I heard an activists’ hate on TV;
His brain was a spite warehouse, it had so much to scare,
He said, send troops to the beach and shoot every illegal there;
And all the trans and gay people;
And all the liberal people;
And all the jobless, poor people;
And all the foreign born people;
I never saw hate for so many people.
An underage kid, off his head,
Shot at Trump, from a building;
If God hadn’t have played a hand,
I think he would’ve killed him.
Old frog face flew across the pond,
For a friend, in need of a pat on the back;
I Hope Clacton-on-Sea’s people are pleased,
Cos I near threw up at the thought of that;
I think I saw you, by a Whetherspoons bar,
Throw a milk shake, cool and long,
Right in his face; he was looking so smug;
Don’t think he knew you were in the throng.
His Reform UK, and Trump’s MAGA’s gaining traction,
And the cause, for sure, is government inaction;
Not gays, not race, not gender, not woke;
It’s super-yachts, not rubber-boats
That’s left us all broke.
We’ve got five years, to roll up the blinds;
Five years, to win hearts and minds;
We’ve got five years, to take back the pot;
Five years, and fix all the rot;
We’ve got five years, to turn back the tide;
Five years, else get privatised;
We’ve got five years, to bring people round;
Five years; wealth don’t trickle down;
We’ve got five years, to reform the UK;
Five years, but not Nigel’s way;
We’ve got five years, to fund the state schools;
Five years, to supply the right tools;
We’ve got five years for our NHS,
Five years; to be either best;
We’ve got five years; or missed when it’s gone;
Five years; it’s not very long.
Five years,
Five years,
Five years,
Five years.

The Rule of Law

Rule of Law

Grease the right palms then grease ‘em some more,
Prosecutors get kicked out the door,
The rule of law was broken; done for,
By lucrative liars in ’24.
Convicted felons appeal, and walk free,
Innocent children drown in the sea,
Short selling hedge-funders buy super-yachts,
Billionaires legally raid pension pots,
Morons misguided, throw missiles galore,
At shell-shocked-shelter-seekers, on the seashore,
The rule of law was broken; done for,
By lucrative liars in ’24.
Male-chauvinist pigs decry women’s rights,
(One’s got a president’s term in his sights),
Property magnates; MPs of late,
Write manifestos of prejudice, hate,
Puppets, under an autocrat’s strings,
Enthroned, become tyrannical Kings;
Corporates bleed the public-purse dry,
Foddered employees work till they die,
Private-insurance don’t cover the bill,
For workers, unskilled, and dangerously ill;
High GDP rates don’t profit the poor,
Whilst Machiavellians, from the top drawer,
Rule over wannabe lions that roar,
In the midst of a make-believe culture war;
The rule of law was broken; done for,
By lucrative liars in ’24.
Lettuces, backed-by-minority, betray,
Bankrupt their country, then walk away
With riches, received by way of reward,
For being the worst-ever boss on the board;
A found-guilty, criminal (best not use names,
Lest I get sued for unwarranted claims),
Fascist, with racist political views,
Started a riot, declared it, “Fake news”,
Paid off a porn star he couldn’t get rid,
And was let-off till after his POTUS bid;
Swerving a fine, and maybe, jail time,
(Such was the seriousness of his crime),
His only opponent, being confused,
Very forgetful and certain to lose,
The criminal’s set for a four year encore,
Convictions quashed and forgotten, for sure;
Grease the right palms and grease ‘em some more;
Populists prosper, however hard-core:
The rule of law was broken; done for,
By lucrative liars in ’24.

Four Bellends and a Farage

Four Bellends and a Farage

A firm on the brink of ruination,
Finally entered administration,
Upon a further turbulent five years,
Of erosion, on the part of Sir Keir’s
Management, which was certainly no worse
Than that of before, yet failed to reverse
The consequences of that reckless teams’
Underinvestment and devious schemes;
Sir Keir, amounting to more of the same,
Being identical in all but name,
Team Starmer fled leaving no one in charge,
Hence enter four bellends, and a Farage.
There shortly followed a town-hall meeting,
Whereat the Farage, post formal greeting,
Said, “Our once great company’s in dire need
Of reform, and I invite you to read
This new contract, written by Richard Tice,
My good friend, colleague and source of advice”;
Said contract was later picked up by all
In attendance, upon leaving the hall;
Deafened ears, ringing with rapturous cheers,
Eye moistened, cheeks sodden with joyful tears,
As the Farage obliged each member of staff
Requesting a selfie and autograph.
But who were the aforementioned bellends;
The Farage’s colleagues and very good friends?
Richard Tice was a property millionaire,
Who’d spent some time in the Farage’s chair,
Temporarily keeping his seat warm,
Spreading the gospel of business reform,
Whilst the Farage was airing right-wing views
On Fox LBC and GB News.
Ben Habib was a property magnate
A losing by-election candidate
A long term Tory party donator,
Brexit fanatic, and boat-people hater.
Lee Anderson, known as 30p Lee,
Had a very limited vocabulary,
“I just want my country back”, he’d complain,
Over and over and over again.
And last but not least, Doctor David Bull,
Founder of the company Incredibull;
One time presenter and Tory MP,
Now deputy leader, both Habib and he.
“This is the board that will see the firm through
A total reform, refreshing brand new”,
So-said the Farage, and how the staff cheered,
Blinded as they were before the mist cleared.
And clear it did, by which time the Farage
And the bellends, were no longer at large;
Profits, unshared were enough for five yachts,
An island retreat, and elite private plots.
And who did the staff seek for punishment
Whilst drowning in debt and impoverishment?
Not the Farage, no nor the bellends;
They would be always remembered as friends:
Woke ideology, trans, immigration,
Dragged down the firm, along with nation,
As implied in the Farage’s contract,
That was an incontrovertible fact.
See contract excerpt below:
"Record mass immigration has damaged
our country. The small boats crisis threatens
our security. Multiculturalism has imported
separate communities that reject our way of
life. Divisive, ‘woke’ ideology has captured our
public institutions. Transgender indoctrination is
causing irreversible harm to children".

A League (For Mary-Ann)

A League (For Mary-Ann)

There’s a league of poets
I’ve gotten to know
Over the last five years or so
An ecliptic mix bi straight trans gay
Brown black white yellow grey
And hand on heart I can honestly say
I’ve never in sixty plus years
Come across a league as wonderful
I feel I’m among familial peers
And I’m so appreciative
Of them all
Audience and performers alike
Whether main act or open mic
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
For welcoming and making me feel part
Of an amazing community
Which till relatively recently
I didn’t know existed
And of names
Too numerous to be listed
I’ll mention but one
Mary-Ann
My rock in the lake
Where the ripples
Began

The Road to Clacton Pier

 The Road to Clacton Pier

I like Great Britain how it used to be,
And Nigel Farage has said as much too;
So, could it be that we, are happily,
Harmoniously, of a common view?
Alas no; Nigel, as I understand,
Is an ultra-Tory Thatcherite man;
Keen to complete what Thatcher first planned,
In ’79, when her term began:
Pray listen as I attempt to convey,
My thoughts on the past, present, future UK.
Aged seventeen, I lived in a bedsit;
A common thing then for someone my age;
I lived very well, even saved a fair bit;
And all on a modest factory wage,
When income tax was thirty three percent:
I ask you: how many youngsters today,
Can afford to be fully independent?
Even thirty year olds can’t move away;
Could it be, low income taxation,
Don’t compensate for privatisation?
Seems to me, comparing the past to now;
Tax-cuts haven’t bettered life quality,
Unless you live in an ivory tower,
A mansion, or a gated community;
And if, over the last forty five years,
Ever increasing NHS waiting times,
Dental fees, rail fares, water rates, rent arrears,
Debts, mortgage-payments, unsolved petty crimes,
And poverty, is anything to go by;
Thatcherite merchants have pedalled a lie.
Which begs the question: what version of GB
Does Farage want for this once great nation?
His manifesto, from what I can see,
Once immigration’s out of the equation,
Offers nothing but an acceleration,
Of what’s been happening since ’79:
i.e. a methodical disintegration
Of services that have been in decline
For forty five years; and he couldn’t care less
About Clacton-on-Sea or the NHS.
My guess is, he wants to implement Truss-
-Economics across the board, by raising
The primary tax levels for us,
Year after year, whilst gradually phasing
Out the NHS, by making it easier
To go private; giving the impression
We’re all better off; life being breezier
Without the tax burden, not to mention
Closed borders, net zero immigration,
The end of woke, and a Saint George vacation.
And when the roads have more potholes than road,
People have to work past seventy five,
Rivers are still like toilets-overflowed,
Fit for work claimants are barely alive,
Healthcare’s modelled on Trump’s USA,
No cancer treatment, no elderly care,
Unless of course you can afford to pay;
When infrastructure’s in total disrepair,
Will Reform’s voters finally see through,
The lies they were told about the EU?
I like Great Britain how it used to be,
And Nigel Farage has said so too,
But his version isn’t my cup of tea,
And if Truss’s fuck-up don’t offer a clue,
Look up the cost of an operation,
Performed in a private establishment,
Peep through the borders, beyond immigration;
You’ll see a charlatan, smugly content;
Laughing, like the old clown, by Clacton pier;
Smoking a Benson and raising a beer.
