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.

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.' - Michael Gove, 2016

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 01:16
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 02:13
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.
