shot dead 50 years ago today. He said:
We didn't land on Plymouth Rock.
Plymouth Rock landed on us
In a few words, the UK is a country where, if you want
to be in charge, you better go to the right schools.
Oxford is just your finishing school. You're already made
before then.
So, the latest batch of "The only way is Eton" are
the particularly crass ConDem coalition members,
running the coalition government.
They have done the following things to the rest of us:
-sold our health info to insurance companies
-got a private company on bonus scheme to kick
the ill off of government handouts, leading to
homelessness and death [ATOS]
-charged people in public housing if they have
a spare bedroom, leading to evictions and homelessness
-got the BBC to lie for them about everything that's
important
-there are 1007 food banks in the country, and some
have empty shelves thanks to the above "frat pranks"
[BBC says there are 500]
- 1 million people going to food banks regularly
-Privatisation of a working public health care system
-crypto-privatisation of what's left of public/state education
-privatising gas provision for heating and allowing the
6 colluding companies to jack up bills 60% over 5 years
[I'm not even trying anymore. this story is typing itself]
-Using the taxman to help companies offshore their profits
e.g. Nissan, now selling cars to Brits through its Swiss
subsidiary
-Taking over the bankrupt banks so that it can slip them some
money under the table
-Cutting back on flood defences and letting Somerset drown
-Instituting a badger cull when it's not necessary
MORE LATER
So, in their honour, I commend this poem, in limmerick pentameter
UK’s a country with gentry
Where gentlemanliness bars your entry
They go to Oxbridge
then rule with privilege
Showing us nothing but cuntry
