Poem

Gideon in his high viz vest
Trying his best 
To look like those 
Who graft for work
Forgetting we have a long tradition 
Of this in the North  

He doesn’t pass for a man 
Who could load a van with 2 by 4
So if he thinks he has fooled us 
The answer is no
Gideon, just take your 
High vis vest and go

Maggie’s little helper may do well to note
That the North has long since 
Had a deep mistrust of you all 
If you think we were fooled 
By ‘Honest Dave’
The working man’s friend....think again 

The pain still exists 
From what the Tories did 
Back in Maggie’s day
Destroying communities

Denying us a say
Removing our way of life
So Maggie could have her 
Unchallenged way

The slow death of the North 
Decades of us being poor
Underinvestment and being ignored 
From whoever was behind 
That Number 10 door 

It breaks my heart 
When I think of how it used to be 
Complete with functioning families 
Self-sustaining and working communities 

But yet again we are stuck 
With the new Tory Dream
Globalisation for all!! 
Which destroys us further once more  

My home town now looks like during the war
Displaced persons from all over the globe 
With little work and nowhere to go 
Left to cut our own throats
For low paid jobs
Which have no future at all  

Bet you Tories thought 
You’d dealt with us  
In the North 
Long since crippled 
Without a voice 
No longer a threat to you at all 

But the EU Referendum 
Gave Gideon and pals 
Quite a shock
A kicking I hope 
They never forget

Arrogantly thinking 
Project Fear meant  
The Tories would win again
Just as they want 

But in light of the result
I would invite him to redefine 
What his PR man said 
That The Northern Powerhouse 
Was just a good tag line
