Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Or there's this, to puncture WAV's love for his favourite newspaper:

I've seen the poison letters of the horrible hacks
about the yellow peril and the reds and the blacks
and the tuc and its treacherous acts
kremlin money – all right jack
I've seen how democracy is under duress
but I've never seen a nipple in the Daily Express

I've seen the suede jack boot the verbal cosh
whitehouse whitelaw whitewash
blood uptown where the vandals rule
classroom mafia scandal school
they accuse – I confess
I've never seen a nipple in the Daily Express

Angry colums scream in pain
love in vain domestic strain
divorce disease it eats away
the family structure day by day
in the grim pursuit of happiness
I've never seen a nipple in the Daily Express


You want a dissection of Englishness, WAV? You're not fit to hold a candle to JCC.
