Scunner't Poet

A government of genocidal fascists and an army of murderers.

Yvette Cooper has no conscience, Starmer picked her for that role for good reasons. The blank refusal to even acknowledge the safer routes option is deplorable.

So, the three protesters who threw paint at a building at Turnberry, two in sixties and remanded in custody, are described as terrorists by Trump on Scottish television. I haven't heard comments from UK or Scottish govs. Now protesters are declared terrorists, fascist Trump goes uncontradicted.

How patronising as well as unimaginative. People would find it hard! Harder than putting up with austerity at every turn? Anyway, why could a citizens assembly not be a combination of online and in person.

Gorgeous!

 To Leonard Cohen

It starts in a minor chord
The harmonies immediate
And exquisite
It breaks me each time I hear
And brings me to tears.

Keep doing it, it's a great problem to have.

Eat more cake, that will do the trick!

The Pain Is Just The Same
 
I’ve seen it all before
I will see it all again
The pain is just the same
If you were sorry
Or if you played it safe.

Birds of a Feather
 
You flock together
Birds of a feather
Living your lie’s
But this is no eye for an eye
This is to deny
Your guilt
And avoid your conscience.
 
A tooth for a tooth
If you have the stomach
And the backbone
A truth for a truth
If spilt tears are fair-trade.

Congratulations to all.
