Open Letter To a Tory Minister's Wife - From One Wife To Another - Part 3

You’ve got by somehow so far without debt as You know this way of life is no good, but they won’t leave you be To manage the best way you can with what you have Even if it means doing without because that’s important to how your kids turn out To know the value of a £1 and what it takes to say you’ve done a days work Trying to make a home for your kids and your man whilst working full time Does this in any way resemble the world of your kind? I doubt it very much these are the lives of the working poor Things didn’t used to be this tough or raw But after those bankers, corporate and city types did what they did We are, us anyway, all heading for zero hours contracts and zero living Will you and yours be subject to that? I don’t think so, your husband will work hard to ensure that But its politicians, of all kinds, who support these ways As it’s these corporations they are giving them election spends Why pay your taxes - here my friend There’s a lot to be said for the Swiss Beautiful country - don’t the Royal Family holiday there?

It’s unlikely - you’re a Tory Minister’s Wife From one wife and mother to another I hope you can sleep at night Please Tory Wives understand I am simply trying to say This message could apply to any of those rich people’s wives who live in a daze Blade straight hair and designer hand bags That if sold could make inroads on the national debt Please Jeeves will you bring the car and umbrella round back? I don’t want to get my designer shoes wet (Please continue to part 4)
