Three Short Words

We needed Nelson Mandela

They gave us Elizabeth Truss

A crushing disappointment for all the rest of us

We needed Mahatma Gandhi

They gave us Elizabeth Truss

Which was seriously worrying

When her judgement is so sus

We needed Angela Merkel

They gave us Elizabeth Truss

Stick a three-word slogan on a big red bus

Liz our Healer, our Leader our Giver

Chosen to Deliver, Deliver, Deliver

We Got Brexit Done so we could Build Back Better

Now it’s time to frack free, liberate, unfetter

When Covid made us hermits it was

Hands Face Space

In the simplified vernacular

Of the propaganda race

Let’s Get Britain Moving

Three more words that mean nowt

As nothing is improving

On the tragic roundabout

Prices soaring higher than a helium balloon

Bankers and hedge funds dance to their tune

Eighty thousand members

Embrace the conflagration

And stiletto heel the embers

Of the flame of our nation

We needed Mustafa Kemal

Instead, they gave us Kwasi

It’s hardly any wonder

The nation’s down the khasi

We needed Winston Churchill

They gave us Elizabeth Truss

Three short words; God Help Us

Now she’s doing speeches

For 50 grand a pop

No More Leeches

LET THIS STOP.

Marvellous stuff, RAP. And a lesson that the quality of leadership isn’t the monopoly of any one political wing.

Really liked this one, and on the whole agreed with it.
The only one I'd take issue with is Winston Churchill. He is much regarded as our greatest ever political leader, but when you look into his ideologies I'd take even this current shower of shit over him.

Very good, RA. I was about to say 'who?' but then I remembered (just).

Her epitaph could be written thus
When considering the time of Elizabeth Truss
She tried to do too much too soon
Hot stuff that theatened the globalists' balloon.
There are arguably none so financially deaf
As those who pose at the WEF.

Back to Square One! There's four words for you, and four words I'd vote for.
