Herd Immunity part 1

All hail Boris the Butcher
A little England nightmare
Arrogance, negligence and cruelty
Is the twisted heart of Government
If you repeat a lie often enough
You can write it on the side of a bus
They knew this pandemic was coming
But as the storm gathered pace
We declined international help
We chose Brexit over breathing
As other countries closed large events and gatherings
Boris bragged about shaking hands
Coughing for Covid with 80,000 Rugby fans
Then Cheltenham Festival
Where a quarter of a million spread the virus
They say it is too early to wonder
Why we have one of the highest death rates
Maybe it’s because
Every action has been taken with reluctance, incompetence and delay
Too slow to close the schools, too slow to close public places
Too late with tracing and testing
We have gone against advice from the World Health Organisation
We have taken a completely different response to every other country

Stay alert
Die quietly
Don’t complain

The victims are the most vulnerable;
Coronavirus in care homes spreads like wildfire
The sick and the poor are disposable
Stay at home if you are rich
Die at work if you are poor
The lowest paid jobs have the highest death rates
Those who never stopped working
The un-furloughed poor;
The construction workers, the cabbies, security guards, transport workers, teachers, nurses, carers delivery drivers and supermarket staff
Workers from every country
Vilified by the racists as ‘unskilled migrants’
Now as we are fighting for our lives
Exploited migrants become key workers
If you can applaud the NHS and carers
Why do you keep voting Tory?
Remember when they cheered a pay freeze for nurses?

Stay alert
Die quietly
Don’t complain

Angela Merkel is scientist
Jacinda Ardern is compassionate
We have our very own killer clown
No scrutiny on the Government
Put the blame on the individual
But all that bluster got the clown infected
Taking it on the chin became ‘let’s all pray for Boris’
We will never know the truth about his illness
Except it’s his get out of jail free card
An old Etonian’s scary ordeal
Read the Sun exclusive
He should try being poor
Where deaths are reported as a scorecard of Government success
An abstract figure fed through a prism of lies
A criminal government aided and abetted by a complicit media
Fawning over daily graphs and colourful slideshows
It is a dark time when phone tapping Piers Morgan
Is the only mainstream journalist challenging the government

Stay alert
Die quietly
Don’t complain

They say ‘protect our borders’ when they demonise migrants
But when it comes to coronavirus we have an open door policy.
Everyone is welcome particularly those infected
Forget about fighting on the beaches
Who needs quarantine, airports tested
When we are ‘getting Brexit done’
Herd immunity is far-right eugenics
In Dominic Cummings’s words ‘let old people die’
Like the Bullingdon club trashed restaurants
Now they are wiping out care homes
Do you feel proud?
When Boris calls black people ‘piccaninnies with watermelon smiles‘
Do you feel proud?
When Boris calls homosexuals ‘tank top bum boys’
Do you feel proud?
When Boris calls Muslim women ‘letterbox bank robbers’
Do you feel proud?
When Boris steals the racist thunder
From Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson

Stay alert
Die quietly
Don’t complain
