Premium Member Deep and Raw and Real To Me

So, do you think you can see the reality of corruption and deceit vs reality?
Can you engage with minds set on destruction and lies.
For what?
For you? For me?
Values, pride and dignity we, the British people still hold dear. Ancestral sacrifice in wars own our tears.
There will soon be nothing left of their legacies.
My family who fought fascists in war for our democracy.
Their legacy still means something deep and raw and real to me.

Premium Member The New Normal

We have the power so we own the word.
No matter what we say, no matter how absurd!

The British people who’s lives we actively try to destroy - well they voted us in so they deserve no respect, no dignity or joy.

We will crucify the country for our thirst for power and greed. We don’t care about how the plebs or their oiks of children feed.

We don’t care about history or honour or humanity - the only things that we live for are money power and greed.

So, as we burden the plebs and destroy all their hopes and dreams, I hope you understand what the word and ethos of Tory means.

Terrorist Breakfast

British people asked for 30 minutes to eat their breakfast before being evacuated from Terrorist Threat.

When in Britain I like to sit down
To a full English breakfast when I go into town
With sausages bacon eggs and beans
And a cup of tea down the hatch what a lovely scene

But this morning whilst at my repast 
A police officer wanted evacuation ‘til the danger had past
For a terrorist with a suicidal vest was outside
Wanting to kill in his mayhem for his 15 minute ride

You see my breakfast had just been served
And to not eat it when hot - what a nerve
So I asked for 30 minutes to finish the meal
You see terrorism and tucker don’t mix in the breakfast deal.

Premium Member Boris Johnson

Remember people didn’t vote for this. 
They didn’t anticipate the lies.

Remember people value truth and 
the way you talk to them confirms it’s 
them you despise.

Remember this country is not something 
that belongs to you, it’s culture, people 
and history were formed by so many 
battle cries.

Remember the British people are real 
and not to be judged as fools by you, 
your cronies and political allies.

Remember that you’re a servant to the 
people and it’s the people who rule you 
before you utter any more bull and lies.

Solitary Australia

The land floating in ocean far in the south 
It is Australia as British people thoughts 
The aboriginals in the land full of doubts 
Making different calls as different  people saw

Clearly, Guards of kangaroo do the best jobs: 
Every human asylum seeker has been stopped 
The Liberals step forward to declare the scroll
An immigrant's deal is completely adopted
 
Australia is accelerating moving to the south
Far far away from the hemisphere north

Premium Member Manchester Attack

Yet another incident has happened today
When will these terrorists go away
Manchester this time at a concert
Some taken to early some really hurt

Thier war now affecting the general public
These people are just really sick
To target young children having fun
Your sick and something will be done 

You will not scare us of British decent
Your cowardly acts you must repent
We will hunt you down and take you in
A six foot cell your life will begin

Prayers go to all those that were there
Great British people show that you care
For those that have lost I shed a tear
Defeat this terrorism show no fear

Stay alert and watch each others backs
We can beat these cowardly attacks
