I saw that. Hah hah!

Here's a song I made about him when he was Minister of Culture, and posted. Here it is again. (A cut and paste, but...) Maybe I might give it another verse...

We'll never find a better friend than the Minister of Culture.
They may say that he is round the bend, from Westmoreland to Wiltshire,
But every time we sing a song, and the licence is not handy,
We'll think of Kim the Minister, from the land of Tonypandy.
Oh Kim we will remember you, who ever could forget you.
You're the man who tried to silence us, except, we never let you.


Well he promised this and he promised that, but he never could deliver,
"If there's no money changing hands it's diffeent altogether
Oh you can hold your sessions there's no reason for a licence."
Did he think a fine of �20,000 might calm us into silence?
Oh Kim we will remember you, who ever could forget you.
You're the man who tried to silence us, except, we never let you.


Oh the bells were ringing in the church, and the dancers on the paving,
And the Minister of Culture was very close to raving.
Oh he blamed it on the Union, for it's misinformation,
But the Minister of Culture now is a joke through all the nation.
Oh Kim we will remember you, who ever could forget you.
You're the man who tried to silence us, except, we never let you.
