UK status update summer 2023.

Transcript… It’s been the hottest summer on record, unless you were actually there, Skies always grey with milky trails everywhere, The farmers are complaining that the wheat has been too wet But the public hasn’t linked the weather with famine…. Yet The orchestrated shortages are on track with rising prices Keeping people distracted with the preplanned money crisis And as the real people struggle with the always rising costs, They grab another jumper to avoid the summer frosts, And these bills they keep on rising and we’re told to blame ukraine But then it’s all goes through the wash and the profits are insane It transpires the energy companies asked the government for help To raise the pricing cap so that they could further scalp Their customers and naturally the government obliged Once again further proving that the people they despise We’re ruled by billionaires who proudly claim the climate Is cooling, warming, boiling, I wish they’d make their mind up As they jet around the world preaching we should all use less So I’ve promised to cut down on my use of private jets… Cos my bills keep getting bigger for the price of stuff I need But the problem isn’t war it’s just good old fashioned greed. The numbers soon get posted and it’s as we all expected Record breaking profits in all the usual sectors Yet despite the glut of money and government collaboration The services we get are still an abomination Out of all the crap we see the one that stinks the worst Has to be the water companies who’s moral compass burst Paying massive bonuses to bosses who presided Over pumping sewage into beaches no matter what the time is Repeatedly they fail, and yet they never take the hit But your Cornwall holiday’s ruined when your beach is full of…. The government had the chance to clamp down on polluting But despite the public backlash the powers they diluted So once again a sector gets a blessing to continue Doing things that seem grotesque to both me and you. But this grotesqueness of activity seems to be pervasive Or is it that nefarious powers are persuasive? In every part of life things are gradually declining So yeah, let’s do ULEZ, this seems to be good timing To talk about how London is being deliberately destroyed By a gnome in an armoured Range Rover based on science that is void Pricing out the people with his set of dodgy numbers Where we all know that the goal is JUST INSTALL THE CAMERAS! The Tories say the Mayor has the power and can’t be stopped, Yet we’ve seen the inside memos and the push comes from the top. So they all pretend they’re against these schemes that rob the public, But they’re all in it together and it’s important that we know this. These cameras keep appearing in places that they shouldn’t Good people tear them down where most the public wouldn’t But we’ve seen these last three years that the people like instruction, Being told what to do even if it’s their destruction. If you sit back and take stock of where we’re at this moment You’ll find across the world that things have become inverted Safe and effective wasn’t and protect yourself and others didn’t, Heart attacks are rising but we can’t work out what did it, Schools have gone progressive, becoming gender neutral spaces Never a better time to be an adolescent rapist, The forest fires in Europe weren’t the climate it was arson, While Hawaii looks the subject of a complex laser weapon, If you want to save the planet you need to buy your stuff from China, The world’s biggest polluter but we gotta turn a blind one, Whilst enduring searing heat waves but only from the telly, A glance outside the window confirms it’s wet and chilly, They’re looting shops and running riot cos teens don’t have a future, And can you really blame them when you look at the big picture? I won’t touch immigration because that word rhymes with invasion, And if it talks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s probably an invasion So we’ve got less money, less time, got lhealth and less wellbeing, We’re worse off than our parents and I can’t see that changing Let’s finish up this awful poem with a simple conclusion The people that are all in power are working in collusion They hate your life, they hate your kids, they hate your sense of freedom, But sadly I can’t think of anything that rhymes with guillotine.
