Rally Interview

Old white geezer

wearing a Union Jack as a cape

just want's "The Old England Back"

and what he means

is the fond memories of post-war Britain

where everything was rationed

and Mummy washed his clothes for him;

where you were allowed to be racist

because everyone was

but nobody was really racist,

not really,

not when all the menial jobs were done by immigrants

and corner shops sold asbestos and cyanide

and the ruling class could do whatever they likes

so long as the peasants paid taxes

and didn't trespass on Crown lands.
