Levelling Up
One year, the Thames was flooded.
I think it was back in Cameron’s time.
There were subsidies and grants galore.
“These terrible scenes of devastation!”
Were all that the Media could explore!
“These poor, benighted middle class!”
The Press couldn’t wait to kiss their ass!
At a similar stage of our climate crisis,
The City of Hull was washed away.
There was no talk of government handouts,
And the Press had f… all to say!
This “levelling up” agenda has been waylaid!
Just give us back all the taxes we’ve paid,
To support all those in the well-heeled South!
And the Media?
They can kindly shut their mouth!
