The poem "Memories of The War" Eighty years ago My granddad lived in Walthamstow He saw the queue for fish and chips Get blown to bits By a bomb in World War Two Hated fascists, like you do Moved to Clacton in ‘82 Derek lives in his house now Flies the flag, English and proud Remembers the war like yesterday ‘Though he weren’t born ‘til ‘53 He left Walthamstow in ‘92 And now votes for fascists Like you do

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
A truck load of ICE agents coming into sight
Chasing people of colour
Wearing masks and shooting guns
Oh, say can you see by Jeffrey’s list
That power and abuse always coexist
And the land of the free
Is run by fortunate sons
They're eating people....

"I heard it this morning on LBC
Where nothing is true so anything could be
In Clacton, it’s Derek’s take
That fake news is real, and real news is fake"
Nigel wants to kick out his girlfriend
Nigel wants to kick out his ex
An end to indefinite leave to remain
Them first, you next
Nigel’s borrowing policy
From the BNP and National Front
Even the right-wing papers say
Nigel’s an unworkable stunt
A cartoon of Donald Trump as an elephant
The flags are out for the predators
The flags are out for the sex pests
From Tommy’s long list of abusers
To Jeffrey Epstein’s special guest
The flags are out for the Rapist-in-Chief
Meet the King, wave to the crowd
The flags are out for the predators
Don’t it make you proud
A cartoon of Nigel Farage as a frog and Tommy Robinson as a rat, standing in front of a dirty union jack. Robinson is making a Nazi salute. Farage is mimicking him, holding a glass of red wine aloft.

A Must Listen (5-star) review from Folk London for Evidence-Based Punk Rock.
"I never thought I would find myself recommending a CD that reflects the daily news we all dread hearing but I am. Unequivocally!"
Thanks!

This land of riches, this land of rags
This land of lampposts and angry flags
Of roundabouts and hasty tags
Oh England, can you tell me where it hurts?

And the trick they play they say the flag is yours
Flown at one world cup and two world wars
A tawdry cross daubed across any old white rag
I’ll never swear allegiance to the flag
And now for something...

A cartoon of Nigel Farage as a cigarette-smoking frog.
Frog-faced fascist Farage The tinpot TikTok wannabe dictator Squawks deport ‘em all, let God sort ‘em out Dreams of riots, five quid flags And mini roundabouts Dreams of Trump-ish sanctions And Taliban transactions It’s mass deportation masturbation For a nation that’s been Squeezed, plucked Furloughed, fucked Despairing for an answer But stranded with a chancer In stockbroker tweed When what they need Is far less greed From those that have it all already Such as him

"Paul lives in a country
Where even the roundabouts are white
His crusade’s embarrassing
And not a pretty sight"

Great stuff. Presumably someone is talking to them about a grassroots anti-racism campaign founded by fans of a certain east London football club.

They’re hanging flags on the lampposts of Breaking Britain
They’re painting the roundabouts red
The concerned mums of Epping are lighting fires
While Bobby’s on the beach winding up their suppliers
They’re kicking the refugees out of The Bell
Next thing they’ll wanna kick you out as well...
