@AlanRMacLeod "Don't Mention the Children"
A poem by Michael Rosen, read by Alexei Sayle

Don’t say: "dead children".

The lack of awareness from this absolute casserole of a political party is jaw-dropping. This is the party whose Prime Minister got given £2k worth of gold wallpaper, who got paid by KGB family members to play tennis, and the party that took £20 million from a known racist.
So Huw Edwards gets a suspended sentence for buying and making pornographic images of children, while peaceful environmental defenders seeking to prevent social catastrophe get 3, 4 and 5 years. Some justice, this.
