It’s happy hour in The New Austerity Inn
And a fight’s already broken out
If you can’t afford it, you can’t have it
Rachel cries, as another brick flies
And machetes are drawn in the street outside
Someone’s set fire to a police van
Someone’s shouting at Keith with a wreath
Someone says what about the children
A small voice what about the children
But the far right are flying the flag
And Rachel says God save The King

Thanks Stephen.
I thought it was striking that the Chancellor's first speech was a list of the things that we can't afford while the King's income rose by £45million. The far-right inspired riots this week suggest that the new government do not have long to start to improve people's living standards and there's little faith that they will.
I have a feeling that I'll be re-visiting The New Austerity Inn before too long.
