The poor can’t afford to be patriotic

 

Is that a statement or an order Sir?

Stand down, stand easy Private Williams!

The pen is mightier than the sword!

But a pen can’t cut your head off Sir!

You’ve been brutalised without even knowing it

We’ve kept you impoverished to stop you from seeing it

But I love my country Sir!

Why?

Well, this green and pleasant land, my dysfunctional family, my friends

Your gang?

But what is an army if it’s not a gang?

You know that we call you lot thugs?

We hunted you down, killed and imprisoned you in India of the 19^th Century

But we are the same skin colour Sir! We worship the same God!

Where did your subservience come from man?

From poverty Sir, from being poor.

Brutalised Britain #history #hogarth #britisharmy

How being nice to people used to exhaust me aka the gruesome grind

Uniform

 

Uniform

We’ve got it arse about face in the UK

School kids should attend in their own clothes

University students should require a uniform

Why make them wait for a cap and gown?

Teenagers shouldn’t be cloned drones in brown

but unique sorts with critical thinking skills

savvy about finance and money,

responsible about relationships.

If they get to University then they have earned the right

to wear a uniform to let them stand out.

They can carry their student debt about their neck

on a chalk board

Anybody would think that

 "Schools teach against the individual"

“You need to fit in rather than stand out”

The ones who survive into adulthood

are the canaries they sent down the coalmine.

They still sing and dance and express creatively

but behind closed doors.

You’re top of the form

if you wear a uniform  

but your job 

(which you know)

is to rebel.

         

British Bulldog

 

My first blog post of 2025! What took you so long? Well probably like many in Britain and America I have been like a punch drunk boxer. The other boxer being the news.

I thought I would introduce this post with a video purloined from You Tube. An American explaining the game of British Bulldogs. Elon Musk explaining to Britain how its democracy should be run. 

If you are of a certain age you will probably remember playing this game at school where there is a bulldog in the middle somebody like Nigel Farage say and then all the Brits run towards him hoping that they don't get tagged and turn into the Reform UK Ltd company leader. Those Brits might include Ben Habib, Paul Thorpe, Paz 49 and Richard Inman. Who? The tiny Tommy Robinson fan club. While this group of thugs run passed Niggels in the middle, he gets his coat tail pulled, his tie ruffled, his hair tousled. Just another playtime at Dulwich College for nine jobs Nigel.

Hang on, what's this? Somebody has just turned up wearing a stars and stripes bandana around his head and is jumping up and down and shouting 'All Right'. It is Mrs Trump herself Elon Musk, the owner and proprietor of the right wing propaganda outlet on which this blog post is going out.

Elon stands there with wads of cash in his hands and he is goading Nigel "Reform needs a new leader. You haven't got what it takes" 

Well this riles up old Nigel and who can be seen lumbering across like Frankenstein's monster but Lee Anderson. If anybody is a British bulldog it's our Lee. Rupert 'the bear' 'how low can you go' Lowe and Tricky Dicky Tice arm in arm with Isinhell Oakshott.

British politics has become so polarised since Nigel's Brexit dream turned into a nightmare but like the Kirby Vacuum Salesman that he is, he is selling, selling, selling the grift until he has no grift left to sell.

One good thing for the woke left who are in complete disarray is that the right are now having an internal tiff. Their hatred and othering of migrants has been turned on eachother and all because of that contemptuous of court Tommy Robinson. Yaxley Lennon is more snappy Jack Russell terrier than bulldog. He is a ratter who appears allegedly to have ingested so much of the stuff that flows down the sewers from the Houses of Parliament (cocaine and shit) that he appears permanently wired. His fight or flight response has fused and he is now fighting himself in solitary confinement.

Britain really needs to geographically split between those who voted for Brexit, the 52% Leave should go and live in Wales and the 48% Remain should go and live in East Anglia, Lincolnshire and the Wash. All the right wingers, save our statues, bomb the boats, I'm not racist but, anti-vaaxxers and anti Sadiq Khan's should go and live in Wales with the Leavers, and the Free Free Palestine Freedom Fighters should join the Remain group in East Anglia.

The British Bulldog in the middle is Darren Ferguson, Manager of Peterborough United who doesn't have to move very far. He can call on his Dad to give any body who deigns to cross the British median the hair dryer treatment and because in his own words 'we're not a charity case', this British Bulldog will make sure that there will be no family re-unions to be had across the dividing line of Britain.

Elon Musk jumping around on stage in front of Trump shouting USA reminded me of another ginger shouting "Well Allright' in Sheffield three decades ago. Neil Kinnock, the worst Prime Minister we never had. His bastard child Blair has decreed that too many people in Britain are self diagnosing with depression. He's right in my case and I am going to see if I can get a sick note from the GP so I can get out of playing British Bulldogs, a game which will go on ad infinitum until the woke left realise that it is a class war and not a culture war that we should be fighting whatever Mrs Trump says to the opposite regularly on Twitter.

Happy 2025 to you all and may it bring an end to the Israeli genocide of Palestine.      

 

Spiritual Explosion 💥 #spiritualawakening

Gone to spend a penny!

https://grammarist.com/idiom/spend-a-penny/

 This pretend poet is going to pen some prose

that is going to grow longer than his nose.

It is now 50p to spend a penny in the Lake District

I shudder to think how much in a London precinct

I suppose that because we spend so much money on food

that Community Councils have to catch the mood.

They are charging for the air for your tyres,

charging tourists to look round the spires.  

"While you're reading what I've put

you might be peeing on your foot"

"I don't come to think and wonder

I just come to shit like thunder"

were yesterday's scrawls on the toilet stalls

now it's a hole in the wall and a phone number.

Queen Victoria would have been amused at her subjects

fumbling for a bank card to fund her Empire Wars.

"I only want a penny to spread our culture abroad"

"Well tough titty m'lady"

There's so much effluence in the public domain

finding benefit money to pay for a poo is really a pain.

We need to bring back 'Pieces of Eight' 

to deal with these modern day pirates.

They'll be charging us to walk and to sleep 

access to nature will be as chargeable

as the lithium battery on your electric car,

you'll be charged for drinking your craft beer at the bar. 

If anything now is still free,

humans will find a way to make you pay for it, you'll see. 

We think that we own the planet and everything upon it.

every living breathing entity is a commodity

that has to be used to boost the economy.

If we didn't think we could own people

there wouldn't have been slavery.

The higher, crueller castes would have you in penury.

I don't get out much

and now I know why

because the powers that be want you to pay for the sky

"But it's up there, I can see it from here"

"There must be a mistake because you haven't paid Sir" 

We are not allowed to just exist, to just be

We are judged as a human being on our productivity 

Well "balls to that" I'm not going to spend a penny.
