DEFENDING OUR LIBERTY WITH ‘RANK’ HYPOCRISY! (weekly poem)

DEFENDING OUR LIBERTY WITH ‘RANK’ HYPOCRISY!

Police have been obtaining the names from newsagents of

customers buying the special post-Paris shooting edition of

Charlie Hebdo on the pretext of “enhancing public safety”

The Counter-Terrorist Squad’s checked,  (1)

To see if Private Eye;

Is bought beneath the counter by

Some Lefties on the sly.

The Daily Mail’s not on their list,

Unlike the vile Gay Times;

As it’s believed this magazine,

Incites the foulest crimes.

The Socialist Worker spews out crap,

Like a revolting gob;

But then again it is produced,

By a revolting mob!                        

Regretfully, democracy

Here in the working class;

Means tolerating even those,

That talk out of their arse.

But freedom is a dirty word,

To those that run the State,

So dissidents should watch themselves,

Before it is too late.

So buy your mags most carefully,

Disguise yourself in drag;

And wear a hijab made up of

The British Union Flag!

(1) 1990-2010: Average number of people dying yearly in the UK of:

Terrorism 6

Bee/wasp stings 5

Accidental deaths 17,201
