Any suggestions for a parody song for Keir Starmers faux pas

I have a strong feeling that we should just let this one go.

I think Dick was just stringing us along or perhaps looking for a new link?

Plenty of material for political parody songs at the moment surely? Plenty on the internet. A grifter is a grifter, one lot gone, onwards the next lot or are middle class socialists too precious… the latter, probably…

they tax our pound of hostages, they tax our Brillo pads and still with all their taxes they can't beat the bloody Vlads

Over 100 Israelis, taken on October 7, are still unaccounted for. Their loved ones don't know whether those hostages are alive or dead. Tens of thousands of non-combatants have been slaughtered and tens of thousands more are living in dreadful conditions. Terrible things are happening in Lebanon. I'm at complete loss to why anyone should want to indulge in whimsy in a thread like this. I dislike Starmer but, on a very tough day for him, he made a slip of the tongue. Just let's drop this and move on, folks.

Seven messages posted and no songs yet. It's off to the BS section with this thread.

Anyone who thinks it’s funny to crack jokes and write ‘parody’ songs about the terrible, heartbreaking situation of hostages is a sick fuck. Know yourselves, sick fucks.

The "sick fucks" are the people who make money out of war and the armament industries that fund governments to carry on legally murdering people, that is the root of the problem.
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

And sick fucks are also the people who should know better than to try to turn hostages and hostage taking into a joke. Know yourself, sick fuck.

On August 11, 1984, President Ronald Reagan makes a joking but controversial off-the-cuff remark about bombing Russia while testing a microphone before a scheduled radio address. While warming up for the speech, Reagan said “My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

Backwoodsman must know that ridiculing Sir Keir for his"gaffe" isn’t the same thing as mocking the hostages .

It’s all part of the same thing, Mick. There’s nothing whatsoever amusing about hostage-taking and hostages, and a very unfortunate slip of the tongue by the PM during a stressful moment doesn’t make those things funny either.

Anyone who can’t or won’t see that is, at the very least, an insensitive twat and, at worst, a sick fuck.

My opinion, like it or lump it - I don’t give a flying fuck either way.

The same goes for Steve Shaw. To be clear : my mocking of Sir Keir - a supporter of   Zionism “without qualification” - after he refers to Israeli hostages as “sausages” was not intended as whimsy.

Unfortunately, now the thread has been moved ‘below the line’, Steve Shaw is unable to respond.

There are plenty of things to laugh about in this world. Hostage taking, no matter who by (and Israel is holding plenty of ‘political prisoners’ who may well regard themselves as ‘hostages’) isn’t one of them.

I would be very happy if a Mod would close this sick thread or, even better, delete its sorry arse altogether.

For the record: Only when I heard yesterday's News Quiz did I actually understand "sausages" was a verbal typo, and what of. Out-of-context error fixed.

I have the same basic sentiments as those expressed by Steve above, but have I been brought up short by friends after saying very stupid things; certainly. I am grateful to have such friends.

I've heard more than one performer, including a comedian, remark that it's important to have a venue where you can be bad. Mine is typically Starbucks.

Where I am right now.

I can see why some would be very happy to see the thread closed or excised altogether along with the hostages - I didn't invent the Hannibal Protocol ,Backswoodsman . Imagine if Corbyn had made such a "slip of the tongue".
Mr Starmer on a very tough day up there on the platform gave the game away nothing to see here, time to move on over forty thousand Arabs unable to respond

Well at least you seem to have realised it’s no laughing matter, which is what I’ve been trying to tell you, and others, all the way through. Hostages don’t need ‘parody songs’ - only a sick fuck would think ‘parody songs’ are appropriate at a time like this. And when I say ‘hostages’, I’m not just talking about Israelis and others held hostage by Hamas, I’m talking about all hostages everywhere, including the entire Palestinian people effectively held hostage in their own land for years and years by the Israeli regime.

When you hate, you generate a reciprocal hate. When individuals hate each other, the harm is finite; but when great groups of nations hate each other, the harm may be infinite and absolute. Do not fall back upon the thought that those whom you hate deserve to be hated. I do not know whether anybody deserves to be hated, but I do know that hatred of those whom we believe to be evil is not what will redeem mankind.”

Well at least you seem to have climbed down from your high horse and reckognized that I was referring to Starner, so let's leave it at that.

No high horse, just a strong sense of right and wrong, and a deep disdain for sick fucks.

I have a deep disdain for foul-mouth , self-righteous slanderers who get on high horses in defence of genocide- supporting Prime Ministers when they make Freudian slips of the tongue.
