NOBODY WANTS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT

entry picture

Once I was the Party’s rising star

Made it then to Leader  as UKIP’s Tsar

Set myself the image of The People’s Bloke

Gonna shake the country when I win in Stoke.

Then I began to slur my name

Telling pork pies with that Hillsborough claim

Lost to Labour last week in the poll

Now looking for a job to keep me off of the dole.

 

Cos nobody wants you when you’re down and out

I’m bumping on the bottom with fuck all

Remember me?  I’m Paul Nuttall.

 

Now Nigel and Banks and Doug Carswell

Are telling me to go to Hell

This is for me a turnabout

Nobody wants you when you’re down and out.

They stuck the knife in on the NEC

I think I’d better switch to the BNP

Or perhaps the National Front because I’m such a loser

Nobody wants you when you’re down and out.

 

Cos nobody wants you when you’re down and out

I’m bumping on the bottom with fuck all

Remember me?  I’m Paul Nuttall.

They certainly enliven the circus.

That old arbiter - time - will tell...but the existence of Ukip
will continue to enliven the political scene and prevent
the somnolence of previous political assumptions occurring again.

I can't see UKIP overcoming its problem that it's achieved its sole objective.
I see it unfolding like this. Tory landslide at the next General Election. And probable victory in the one after that. Labour ditching Corbyn. (He'll resign - his numpty followers don't have the sense to deselect him). Gradual realignment towards the centre Left. UKIP nowhere.

JC - I certainly agree with your point about Ukip's original aim - and its success. However, with the virtual disintegration of the Lib-Dems - whose obsequious
genuflection towards the EU brought about their demise,
and the rapidly reducing faith in Corbyn's Labour Party,
it is likely the newest party sees a role for itself as an
alternative voice for the man on the Clapham Omnibus...
as more and more lose faith in the old three party system
here in a UK that is now forging a future free of the
ties to Brussels. If only they can get their collective act
together and offer something less haphazard from their
leadership platform. Fair do's though, as it is easy to
forget how long the other parties have held sway and
just how new Ukip is to "the game".

Thanks, Dave. Maybe the rhyme with Nuttall might have needed bleeping over on TWTWTW.
Yes, indeed, MC. I suspect his Troika of friends I mention will be plotting his removal.
I think UKIP have a problem as a one-issue party when its issue has essentially been achieved. What do they stand for once Brexit has been delivered?

Liked the tune - and smiled wanly at the words. I have to
say the man was hardly up to speed by failing to check
what was posted online in his name. In politics, you have
to watch your back and, as the saying goes, keep your
enemies as close as your friends - mainly because it can
be difficult sometimes to detect the difference! The man himself is due to address a Ukip meeting for the south/west
so all is not over just yet for him.
As for Stoke, they get the MP they voted for and they
deserve each other.

Lovely playing John and fit for any late night satire programme (you know the sort that doesn't exist any more).

".. Then you're no end of an ass" (boom boom). Thanks, Colin.
