DEFENDING OUR LIBERTY WITH ‘RANK’ HYPOCRISY! (weekly poem)

DEFENDING OUR LIBERTY WITH ‘RANK’ HYPOCRISY!

Police have been obtaining the names from newsagents of
customers buying the special post-Paris shooting edition of
Charlie Hebdo on the pretext of “enhancing public safety”

The Counter-Terrorist Squad’s checked,  (1)
To see if Private Eye;
Is bought beneath the counter by
Some Lefties on the sly.
The Daily Mail’s not on their list,
Unlike the vile Gay Times;
As it’s believed this magazine,
Incites the foulest crimes.

The Socialist Worker spews out crap,
Like a revolting gob;
But then again it is produced,
By a revolting mob!                        
Regretfully, democracy
Here in the working class;
Means tolerating even those,
That talk out of their arse.

But freedom is a dirty word,
To those that run the State,
So dissidents should watch themselves,
Before it is too late.
So buy your mags most carefully,
Disguise yourself in drag;
And wear a hijab made up of
The British Union Flag!

(1) 1990-2010: Average number of people dying yearly in the UK of:
Terrorism 6
Bee/wasp stings 5
Accidental deaths 17,201
