Minor remnants of industry, a port
Sounds suggesting some processes
Going on during 28 December
A scrapyard,
A disused railway line. All fenced off.
Still water bottle with a union flag
Graffiti reads: ‘Propertytheft’
Crushed tinnies
Fosters Carlsberg Tetleys
A forlorn plastic wrapper of a scotch egg
A GMB union 2021 calendar.
A union flag on a cellophane wrapping. A body bag?
Tetley tea plastic cup
Discarded blue cheap face mask
Several sodden coats...
An union flag on the wall, like some sort of defence.
See about nine people and three dogs. Two of the dog walkers say hello, cheerily.

New Year's Day

Wildfires destroy the land
Glaciers melting in Greenland produce
Worldwide flood risks
Glaciers melting in the Himalayas
Threaten water supplies in Asia
The UN estimates 2.8 million Somalis to have been affected by drought in recent years, forcing tens and thousands of herders and farmers to leave their rural homes to escape the climate extremes in a nation already crippled by years of war. The internal migration has seen the ill-equipped urban centres flooded with refugees seeking food and water, and pasture for their remaining livestock.
In Russia, the permafrost melts...

Sacked... (1988) for fabricating a news story
Sacked... (2004) for publicly lying about an affair
Got away with exaggerated euro myths
Like Bruno Dethomas lives in a castle
A German plot against a British commissioner
Delors plans to rule Europe
They're blowing up Berlaymont
He had a journalist beaten up
He got a leg up from Merton and Hislop
Got away with wasting public money
On garden bridges and Jennifer Arcuri
Obscene porker
Lords it over us
With cronyism and corruption
It is one rule for Us
None for Them
It's not just the Johnson
They're all Fabricants!
Lazy, bring-your-own-boozer
Bullshitter
King of the world
Of extempore excrement
Where's Shakespeare: The Riddle of Genius?
Hope it is worth those five Cobra meetings...
Obscene porker
Lords it over us
With cronyism and corruption
It is one rule for Us
None for Them
It's not just the Johnson
They're all Fabricants!
265 FOR sewage in seas and rivers 15
359 FOR criminalising protest 15
250 FOR protecting Owen Paterson 15
Send in the Praetorian Guard 8
It's operation SAVE BIG DOG! 8
With... Desmond ‘the landlord’ Swayne
Andrew ‘flags!’ Rosindell
Priti ‘EVIL’ Patel
Gavin ‘Algorithm’ Williamson
Nadine ‘nepotism’ Dorries
Jonathan ‘braying bore’ Gullis
Michael ‘anti-expertise’ Gove
Sir Desmond ‘blackface’ Swayne
Jacob ‘capital's toff’ Rees-Mogg
Dominic RAAAAAAB
Obscene porker
Lords it over us
With cronyism and corruption
It is one rule for us
None for Them
It's not just the Johnson
They're all Fabricants!
'But I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead.'

It’s not what you think yourself to be,
It’s not about an identity,
What you do
Is the making of us
We could expropriate the assets of the Russian oligarchs
We could welcome all Ukrainian refugees provided they are willing to apply for a visa and pick our fruit.
(Catch Yourself on!)
It’s not what you think yourself to be,
It’s not about an identity,
What you do
Is the making of us…
Catch Yourself On
Catch Yourself On
Catch Yourself On
Catch Yourself On
Catch Yourself On
Catch Yourself On
Catch Yourself On
Catch Yourself On
Welcome the stranger
Support the underdog
We are all stranger
It’s not what you think yourself to be
It’s not about an identity
It’s not what you think your SELF to be
It’s not about a reified identity
What you do is the making of...
us...
What you do
Is the making of us

Salvage Owl

Force to endorse the collective work of salvage-ah
Refuse to lose to Urizen and his law vortex
The owls of Pompeii they are what they seem
An omen gnomic, strobe lit, fit to rescue all this!
Refuse to lose!
Refuse to lose!
You superb owl!

Conviviality
A gallimaufry of birdsong
Crocuses and primula
Conviviality
Conviviality
Conviviality
Conviviality
Conviviality
Cordiality
Geniality
A white horse is on the bus!
The replacement bus
And what's more, it’s at the wheel...!
Conviviality
And it's spring...
Conviviality
And it's spring.
