The Tory Press And The Loony Left
Warning - political rant - inspired in part by Chris Co's poem, Right Thinking - just my view of course!
I don’t think much of the Conservative press,
I think they are responsible, more or less
For indoctrinating normal working folk
Into wearing their tallest and saddest joke
That voting Tory is the way to go,
When workers’ foe is Cameron and co.
They continue to berate the loony left
Yet it feels there has been a left party theft.
So called New Labour is just right of centre,
Thatcherist policies just a bit gentler,
But no big cuts to the public sector jobs,
That was down to the Tory scissor-knobs,
Who picked on the poor and the disabled too
Just to give even more to the privileged few.
Austerity just heads on a downward spiral,
Borrowed more benefits so lost that trial.
Workers voting Tory – now that's preposterous!
Turkeys would not vote for an early Christmas!!
Now as the recession hits a double dip,
I think it is time the Lib-Dems jump ship.
Many voted for them while feeling bereft
As there was no party left on the left!
The only real options – what a dynasty!
We need a change; can we call it Honesty!

This cleverly written political poem certainly inspired a lot of discussion well done.
