For sale.
No bidders, no interest.
No sale.
Blanked by middle-class morality
The channel 4, BBC, well-heeled media brigade
Dashing out of the Salford studios back to London
With all 500+ Remain MPs
As quick as you can, my man,
Back to the Estonian nanny, The French chef, Polish gardener
Such a bargain, my dear, nothing to fear
From free movement of labour here in Putney.
Preaching a diversity that doesn’t include the hoi polloi.
The liberal Intelligentsia,
Tolerant in every corpuscle, sinew and bone:
It is our sincerely held view… racial diversity we embrace…gender and LGBTTQQIAAP too…
But not barbarians like you,
Oh, no, not barbarians like you..
Working class white boys
Less likely than any other ethnicity in Britain to go to university…
More likely to die early…
Mortality rates rising,
Age of death falling,
Suicides leaping
And nobody caring
Despair surging
Anger coming….
