The reasons for excluding this poem - in which no obscene
or similar abuse is used - are not really recognisable in
a land with a history of poetical pursuit of perceived political failure and lack of proper endeavour on behalf of us all, a tradition that has its companions in the drawings of
Gillray and Hogarth, and, latterly, Steadman and Scarfe.

Hello MC.,
Thank you for this well rhymed poem which is raw in its content but rings true indeed. There is no one person or institution to blame for the dilema which besets the nation. The fact of the matter is that we are well on the road to perdition having abandoned what historically gave us values and order. Thank you again. Keith

Agree with your immigration scepticism Mark, but the recent London trouble I believe involves children of longer term incomers. I'm sure someone will refute this though.
