The trouble with Derek
The trouble with Derek
was that he was a socialist
The trouble with Derek
was that he was working class
that he was from Liverpool
The trouble with Derek
was that he thought quickly
that he spoke quickly
that he had a sense of humour
The trouble with Derek
was that he had the support
of those that elected him
that he had a mandate
The trouble with Derek
was that he was a blue
that he didn't drink alcohol
that he didn't smoke
that he was smartly dressed
that he was good looking
The trouble with Derek
was that he was working class
The trouble with Derek
was that he was a socialist
that he was elected
that he was from Liverpool
The trouble with Derek
was that he wouldn't take bribes
that he was engaging
that he was good looking
that he went to the gym
The trouble with Derek
was that he spoke his mind
that he believed in democracy
that he had a forceful personality
The trouble with Derek
was that he was a socialist
that he was elected by voters in Liverpool
that he had their support
that he had contempt for the Tories
but that was twenty years ago
That was the trouble with Derek.

Harry we, the Labour Party were more than just " a wake up call to the Labour party to get it`s house
into some sort of winnable state,they were of some
use at the time..." Like 5,000 houses, nurseries and sport centers and much more. I will be happy to give you the details. Tommy
