Inevitable storm in tea cup headlines
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Tory MP for Richmond, North Yorkshire, Rishi Sunak, tweeted a pic of himself standing by a big bag of Yorkshire tea.
There was an inevitable and tiresome backlash online, with both left and right lining up to put the boot in.
Poor old Yorkshire Tea had to clarify that it was not an endorsement or official link. The world gets madder and madder.
Obviously therefore there's some fun to be had here.
Verse one is from the Independent article's comments, and verse two from a story on the Daily Mail website.
I call it Below the Line poetry; with full props to father of this kind of thing, Dave Gorman, and his 'found poetry'.
Verse One
My deepest sympathies to Yorkshire Tea.
Their product has now been tainted forever ;(
Using that bag (with its trademark)
As a photo prop without permission.
Or it might just be
Because he
Is a Yorkshire MP.
The idiot left make Trump seem good
The idiot left make Hitler look good!
Bitter misfits, the very worst of us
Do nothing but drive division, intolerance and hate
What next Lefties, all going naked
From the waste down
Because Boris chose to
Wear some trousers??
Toxic Twitter:
Yorkshire Tea - Attacked.
Laurence Fox - Attacked!
Lawrence Fox, what a C***!
A sexist tvvat of the first order
Racist bigoted sexist tvvat
Dear lefties,
The Tories breathe oxygen as well.
Feel free to give that up.
He’s not an Indian immigrant from poor beginnings,
A boy who’s done well, bless him etc etc,
Hes an ex Goldman Sachs banker
The bankers have invaded, and hijacked the UK
Done more damage than nuclear wars.
Smiley faced terrorists.
Verse Two
Yorkshire Red. Best tea ever.
The left is a continuous and unconscious audition
For rare places in the loony bins.
Twitter is nothing but
A radicalising hot house
For uninformed,
Gobby,
Intolerant
Liberals.
The left are the dregs of society.
There really are some petty minded,
Ridiculous,
Idiotic fools out there.
Can't wait to see the fall out
From Happy Harry and Meagain
When people find out
Who they are promoting.
Ignore the Twits of Twitter.
That tradition of rolling cheese down a hill
Is being stopped
Because of health and safety issues.
Most brown people are now successful
With businesses and good jobs
And no longer support Labour.
The lefties want brown people to be helpless victims
Who have to be saved by the
Gallant lefties
Pathetic lefties
Shallow Lefties.
Screw the lefti filth.
Corbyns muppets
Sad lefties
Left whingers idiots.
Looney left
Silly twit
Nastiest of all.
Leftwing dopes
Millennial prats.
Noisy left protesters.
Woke lefties
Lefty ret4rds
Hypocrites spewing bile.
One eyed in their socialist world
Indoctrinated left-wing trolls.
Left wing brain deads at it again,
Unemployed lefty ass wipes
Nasty little snots
Pathetic low life labour supporters.
We're down the rabbit hole
INSIDE the rabbit hole
Utterly out of control
Neww levels of derangement
Drink poison you nasty vile person
And
That
Is why Boris
Has a big majority.
P!55 water.
