And this is not poetry

Hello. And so:

180k dead

Tories +2%

Getting pissed up whilst the rest of us can’t mourn

Tories +4%

Awash with Russian money and compromised to shit

Tories +6%

Foodbank use up 170%

Tories +8%



Fuel and food prices soaring. Heat or eat. Kids going hungry.

Tories +10%

Right to protest curtailed. Illegal to gather and show solidarity.

Tories +12%


Billions written off for the fucking big companies. Mates given huge contracts.

Tories +14%

Are we getting this yet? Does it make sense? Clearly not.

Tories +16%


There’s nothing poetic as far as I can see

when these corrupt charlatans keep getting voted in.

What the fuck is wrong with the UK?

I'm tempted to say: Everyfuckingthing. 


Fuck this place, and fuck you if you voted for these cunts. 

You have blood on your hands. You are complicit.

Makes me want to believe in a God so you get judged 

for your fucking collaboration in this self-immolating shit. 


Imagine a government at war with its own people.

No need to imagine it.

Just open your fucking eyes. Jesus. They're evil.

Tories + 2000000%


Fuck me too for not doing more about this. 

Fuck me for feeling hopeless.

Shoo -20%.

But I’m not done yet. Far from it:

I'm cursed with belief in the human spirit.
