Modern Britain (August 2019)

Junkies & beggars proliferate in plagued streets. Poor families have to feed their kids from food banks. While the rich still feed like swine from golden troughs. Austerity for the many; tax cuts for some, In a callous land where elite Tory boys rule. Is it the 51st state of the U.S.A? Pointless paperwork to keep teachers and nurses in line; While hospitals and schools remain underfunded. The vain establishment papers over the cracks; while a dwindling few try hard to expose the truth. Some want to resurrect old, imperial ghosts; While others just want to make it to the next day. Some are 'Little Englanders': their false consciousness masked By tales of former glories and lots of flag waving. Modern Britain: it's a complete hell hole for most. Better get out quick before the whole place subsides!
