The following is my response to Red Button's recent post: https://sharkfishinginwales.blogspot.com/2022/10/bemoaning-state-of-high-street.html

Britain’s been given

An Anti-Social-ist Behaviour Dis-Order,

The Tories flaunt it,

Like a naughty teen.

Britain’s ill, but can’t get treament,

Because of the cuts,

So the cuts on her wrists,

Are growing in number,

I’ve grown accustomed to her face,

Hollow-eyed,

De-humanised,

De-socialised,

Designer anti-human,

Anti-social hell-holes,

Where former servicemen can lie

In doorways with their eyes

On Queen Victoria.

Nothing more soul-destroying,

Than a Blackpool or a Rhyl,

Behind the plastic tat and trash,

Inhabited by the transient, the disposessed,

The ghosts of human beings,

Huddled in this social winter,

A society in its death throes,

It’s climate change,

A winter of austerity deliberately,

So cruelly inflicted.

Inflicted. Why? For votes.

Because they must not,

Can not care dare not care,

For power for its own sake’s,

The only game in town,

In towns that have been victims

Of meticulously managed decline

by the Conservative Party.

 

“Managed Decline” was a policy once applied by Thatcher to Liverpool
