New Politics?

[Tangled up in Blue]

Private Eye no.1263

Hilarious ****take of The New Politics in the current Private Eye.The New Coalition Academy(formerly Brown's Comprehensive).
Certainly makes a change from Brown's Stalinesque The Great Leader Diaries.
Sample humour:School Mission Statement "Ask not what the school can do for you.Ask what you can do for the school." :)

I've got a feeling tough times lie ahead for all the school's pupils.;)

T Shirt spotted in Barcelona today...

"I went to the 2010 Builderberg Club meeting in Sitges and all I came back with was.....this lousy New World Order.

Made me :)

You sound like the type of person that don't take no for an answer.

You sound like the type of person that don't take no for an answer.

How'd you mean, SG?:unsure:

The answer lies a long time ago. In the winter of '79.

 

[Rob Noxious]

The answer lies a long time ago. In the winter of '79.

That was the year that Nan Harris died ... :cricko:

Cue for a song

The answer lies a long time ago. In the winter of '79.

BTW I didn't get run in that year.

"Winter of '79"
All you kids that just sit and whine
You should have been there back in '79
You say we're giving you a real hard time
You boys are really breaking my heart
Spurs beat Arsenal, what a game
The blood was running in the drains
Intercity took the trains
And really took the place apart
That was the year Nan Harris died
And Charlie Jones committed suicide
The world we knew busted open wide
In the winter of '79

I'd been working on and off
A pint of beer was still ten bob
My brand new Bonneville got ripped off
I more or less give up trying
They stopped the Social in the spring
And quite a few communists got run in
And National Service come back in
In the winter of '79
When Marco's caff went up in flames
The Vambo boys took the blame
The SAS come and took our names
In the winter of '79

It was us poor *******s took the chop
When the tubes gone up and the buses stopped
The top people still come out on top
The government never resigned
The Carib Club got petrol bombed
The National Front was getting awful strong
They done in Dave and Dagenham Ron
In the winter of '79
When all the gay geezers got put inside
And coloured kids was getting crucified
A few fought back and a few folks died
In the winter of '79

Yes a few of us fought
And a few of us died
In the winter of '79

Even more great TRB lyrics

Lyrics to Don't Take No For An Answer :
We first met in the winter
Said 'let's give it a try'
I swallowed my fears
A couple of years
Just living a lie
I'd just come from the country
Wide-eyed and naive
I signed on the line
I signed a long time
Now you won't let me leave... but you

Don't take no for an answer (x3)
When you've nothing to lose... no you
Don't take no for an answer( x3)
Put yourself in my shoes

I don't want any trouble
I ain't after a fight
But well-respected man
Please understand, man
You're standing in my light
No use sticking together
I've gotta get out and get off
I offered you a slice
You told me no dice
Cos you wanted the lot... but you

Don't take no for an answer (x3)
When you've nothing to lose... no you
Don't take no for an answer( x3)
Put yourself in my shoes

Proud to be a TRB fan.:clap:
