    Address to a Burger 🍔

    Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
    And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
    Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
    That jaups in luggies;
    But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
    Gie her a Burger !

  2. I got to “enlightened monarchs”. The Chinese invaded Tibet with much tut tutting from he west in 1950.
    However, they abolished feudalism. Remember serfdom?
    That is Bhutan. It’s also the UK and it’s gilded pianos.

        1. I’m afraid he’s pretty much as weak and wobbly as the leader of the Tories.

          I found something earlier, and I’ll see if I can find it again, which shows how much use he is.

          I’m afraid I hoped for far too much from him.

  3. Not exactly obvious how Jeremy Corbyn squares the circle? Perhaps he just didn’t get the song?

    I’d have thought that the leader of the opposition was as exposed at the leader of the Government?

    His avoidance of people that would sing along to this:

    1. The lyrics that the Labour Party don’t want you to see, lest you become restless:

      Forward people, to the rescue
      Red flag, red flag
      Forward people, to the rescue
      Red flag will triumph.

      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Long live socialism and freedom!

      The exploited’s immense formation
      Raises the pure, red flag
      Oh proletarians, to the rescue
      Red flag will triumph.

      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      The fruits of labor will be for he who works!

      From the country to the sea, to the mine
      To the workshop, those who suffer and hope
      Be ready, it’s the hour of vengeance
      Red flag will triumph.

      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Only socialism is true freedom.

      No more enemies, no more frontiers
      The borders are red flags
      Oh socialists, to the rescue
      Red flag will triumph.

      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Only in socialism is there peace and freedom.

      Bold, conscious and proud ranks
      Unfurl the red flag in the sun
      Workers to the rescue
      Red flag will triumph.

      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Red flag will be triumphant
      Long live communism and freedom!

      I am unconvinced!

      Though it is a great song.

              1. At my mates. 69 years old with shingles, he spent Christmas by himself because he didn’y want to infect anyone. Daft old bugger. Any hoo, took a bottle of cheer with me the day, but we ended up cracking the seal on a bottle of Kraken.
                So you could say I was on caring duties too…
