When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses!

By  Stanley Collymore 

British rightwingers have 

a massive problem with 

money being sensibly  

spent to stop children from 

pointlessly ever starving, 

but unsurprisingly are

amazingly okay with 

practically multiple   

billions, of Pounds  

Sterling, literally 

spent on dodgy 

contracts with 

Tory donors - 

like those, purportedly, 

making Covid-19 PPE  

that obviously don't 

work. Or huge pay

rises for indolent

and thoroughly useless MPs.

And comparably too Boris 

Kemal-Johnson's vanity 

projects when he was 

London's Mayor and

similarly uncaring 

as Britain's lately 

installed, and a 

visibly ineptly 

basically out 

of his depth 

incumbent

UK Prime 

Minister.   

However, any public 

suggestion of help 

for the poor and 

truly vulnerable solicits 

nothing, but a frothing 

fury from these same 

intensely obnoxious

quite patronizingly

too, irrefutably as

well, sickeningly 

self-absorbed as

a proud coterie 

of thoughtless,

so manifestly 

haughty and 

toxic Tories

discernibly 

of a country totally 

occupied by nasty 

persons - whose 

sole role in life 

other than to

make loads 

of money;

is hating 

persons 

unlike 

them.

Author's Comments:    

The title I've given to this poem, and that appropriately I honestly do feel suitably fits this subject matter, does come from a discernibly inspirational quote by the late Shirley Chisholm.

Shirley Chisholm - now permanently ensconced as expectedly so with all the Heavenly Host - was an American born and dynamic lady of Barbadian  extraction whose parents ensured she had the precious twin advantages of a thorough Barbadian upbringing and its full attendant formative education that Shirley herself always lauded in her native born USA.  

An American politician, educator and author Shirley Chisholm became the first African American woman to be elected to the US Congress, serving 7 consecutive terms from 1969 - 1982. 

 

In 1972 Shirley also became not only the first African American of either gender but also the first woman ever, and equally so for a major USA party - the Democratic Party - to run for USA presidential nomination. Remarkable  achievements, these, by any objective and rational analysis! 

In marked contrast I will also borrow from the words of William Hoffmann to cogently summarise my opinion of Britain and most of its inhabitants. 

You ever get the sinking feeling that Britain is fast filling up with bastards of both genders - not only biologically but also immorally too? I do! What I really want to know though, is what happens when all these bastards run out of people to crap on?  

What happens when all that's left in Britain are nasty bastards  - not only Tory but also Labour, Lib-Dems, SNP and the other political nonentities? 

My heartfelt humorous apologies to William Hoffmann - A place for my Head.
