Then rolled up notes could be unfurled
To offer compensation
Reminding those who tidied up
To stay below their station

Old members still believing
Their charm and wealth protects them
Now face a growing anger
And a public which rejects them

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

We didn't have the room
To hear your voice
For the anticipated off key notes
Would surely have hurt our inner ear
We didn't have the curiosity
To read your story
For why would be interested in how
You arrived here?

Then the shop owner despairing
As the income line descends
Customers have just stopped buying
Hopes to turn round worrying trends
Still keeps going optimistic
The next quarter will go well
Otherwise she'll shut for good and
Have no option but to sell

Next the debt advisor hearing
That his client on the call
Is now facing repossession
Mortgage can't be paid at all
Has decided that the best choice
Faced with rising interest debt
Is to hand the keys back hoping
Credit agencies forget

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

I waited for your sweet reply
To hear you felt it too
But now my days are filled with hurt
And heartbreak over you

So all that's left are shattered dreams
My love was unrequited
All that remains are higher debts
And a party disunited

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

Our future I had mapped and planned
Unleashed we'd run through fields
Of golden wheat on cloudless days
Discussing earned bond yields

I wanted you to love me back
Fulfill each want and need
And share my highest fantasy
Of wealth creators freed

If the Tory record on UK growth has been so good, as Jeremy Hunt seems to be saying in his reply, what was the point of such catastrophic measures to stimulate growth now? #Gaslighting

@NicolaSturgeon #ScottishIndependence

Will Scotland let disillusioned English people to move across the border when it gains independence?

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

It's not true when you say
Our experiment's failed
And the dreams families planned
Thrown off course now derailed

I must do as I'm told
Always serving the few
And I'll not be content
Till I've seen this job through

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

Let me stick with my dream
Let me grow this damn pie
Even though he messed up
I deserve one more try

When we wrote in our book
We'd force change we'd disrupt
Never thought it would end
Such a mess so corrupt

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

Just repeating the same wording
Never mind the questions asked
Give impressions you're a robot
Or at least not up to task

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

Inequality has purpose
Think it should be reappraised
As a tool to serve a system
Not a scourge to be erased

Policies without a mandate
Are presented now as fact
Manifestos urge a small state
Only markets can react

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

#antigrowthcoalition

Ideologues need their proponents
And proponents must be paid
Public speakers need deposits
At the time a booking's made

For there's always someone willing
If of course the price is right
With a menu listing favours
Cheapest offer flying kites

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

Soon the targetted donations
Are investments made worthwhile
Gain respect among the mainstream
It's their slogan but your smile

Poverty a chosen lifestyle
Laziness a preference
Poor choices, indecision
Though it's hard and makes no sense

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

@trussliz Did you have permission to use a Manchester bands song when your policies harm so many people in Manchester and the North West? #movinonup #mpeople

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

Facism isn't studied across the curriculum
Perhaps now's the time it's included
So citizens learn how to spot fascists early
And electorates can't be deluded

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

@SuellaBraverman #torychaos

Facism flourishes in moments of anxiety
When politicians choose a target to blame
That group is the reason a lifestyle is threatened
Doesn't matter which group it's the same

[Catherine West-McGrath @CatherineWestM5]

Facism demolishes equal democracy
Certain people see their rights are lost
While leaders remove the ability to be removed
No matter the damage or cost
