First ever post folks-be gentle-I'm a sensitive soul. Despite being an avowed marxist I'm a regular reader of this site, broadly welcoming the critique of the worst Council leadership in living memory, though groaning at the right wing little englander stance of some of the posters. I always think a bit of culture is good for the soul and that a poetry thread might raise the tone. I've started it off with the bar set only just above the ground, with a plea to the many Labour party members and Councillors I know read this site. I'm sure you can all do better than this effort - come on, have a go!
Plea to the party members
some people call them the acker bilks
but thats an insult to the clarinet virtuoso
they've infested our great labour party
and knackered the town I love I just know so
Stephen's unfortunately backward
though politically incorrect I know is that term
but incorrect lying politicians deserve it
no matter how much they're mentally infirm
Chris is our glorious leader
just a scheming vindictive snake
without a political bone in his body
just an ego the size of a lake
We must stand together if we're ever to rid
this disease in our party and town
lets get shot of the two akers belchers
lets unite to bring those daft bas**rds down
Please confirm you are not one of the "poets" the snail insists in publishing in the letters page every night? Just a personal thing but I hate poetry and hope to God all poems are placed in a poetry section- which I will ignore. Especially drivel relating to our great labour part about as relevant as the Durham miners gala.....given their are no Durham miners.
As I said thats just me.
What's next a pigeon fanciers thread? Maybe "ball" room dancing more appropriate to clowncil activities?
I'm afraid the 'great' Labour Party, if 'infested', should have cleansed itself. It apparently approves of the 'infestation'.
I wandered lonely as a post upon Hartlepool's finest political forum.
