I do like this scrap of quaint poetry (whether written by the left or the right hand), it is reminiscent in its simplicity of what our England was built upon.
We may be 1100 years down the line, but some values remain timeless and are still worth fighting for. Politicians are, as the Bard would put it, “poor players, that strut and fret their hour upon the stage and then are heard no more” they preach their vacuous ideologies – concepts of what they imagine the sheeple ought to hear – which, sadly, so often turn out to be “full of sound and fury” but signifying very little.
The English Constitution, however, remains the solution – a ‘gold standard’, enduring, not corroding.

Born in a stone-flagged under-dwelling, in an obscure Yorkshire village. Funded for grammar school by my aunt, worked variously in HM Customs, the London Met Police and switched careers into fire-resistant glazing in 1984. Back in 1974, like C.S. Lewis, I had come to the conclusion that 'Christians are wrong, but all the rest are bores'. Worked for a spell in Israel, and understood why the 'Austrian asylum-seeker''s final solution did not succeed. Confronted now with the practical outworking of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, I see that my country has been sleep-walked into the undemocratic oligarchy of Brussels. My country is too rich in noble history to remain subordinate to these malevolent souls with hearts blacker than a witch's hat. The Rastafarian motto comes to mind - 'those who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.' Our country needs a leader (man or wombman) with the heart of a LION, and, love him or loathe him, there is no-one else who has faced down these conspirators for over 20 years. At the Brexit Party rally in Huddersfield I was convinced by Ann W as much as anyone - a root-and-branch change back to true local democracy is the only way.
