"Shoot a Migrant"

The cartoon in question was sent to me by an "aquaintance".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A cartoon captioned “Shoot a Migrant”,

Encouraged by the Daily Hate-mongers,

Fear and ignorance, both servant and tyrant,

A seaside “amusement” no longer,

The telescope now’s become a rifle,

Aimed at Johnny Foreigner,

An entertaining trifle,

It’s what passed for humour,

In her New Year vodka-soaked void,

That malignant pandemic of tumours,

Spreading through brain cells unemployed.

Welcome to civilised Britain!

In 2023, the Year of Our Lord,

In which this was written.
