You can’t take away how we grow.

But that is how it seems.

What the fuck do you know?

Cameron, Clegg, Miliband, cui bono?

Bollinger babblers and Oxbridge dupes,

Business -- mode with the usual crooks.

Plus is a minus of that we know.

Dreamers are not in demand.

What the fuck do you know?

Let our earth grow fallow.

St Andrews Cross in a shared land.

You can’t take away how we grow.

Governing goslings talk Jim Crow,

Liberty, social justice and inequality.

What the fuck do you know?

The devil of mocking laughter.

Mealy old age we watched it go.

You can’t take away how we grow.

What the fuck do you know?

I was sad it was a no but we may as well just on with it now. Glasgow stood firm and at least we saw Cameron scampering up north for a grovel.

 I wanted whatever Scotland wanted, if that makes sense. If they'd given the English the vote I''d have wanted a third choice, have our own governments but keep some kind of union, if only as neighbours. As they say on the Hunger Games - ! - remember who the real enemy is. I hope the disappointment lessens but I'm sure it'll take a long time.

"Dreamers are not in demand."  There is no border.  Just people.

It was good watching the fuckers bow and scrape for once.  But there are fuckers at the top of every hierarchy.

I share your need for that egalitarian world.  We need you bastards to help make it happen here!  Glad you're still with us.

thanks guys, for the battle cries. To bed, a tear shed. Rich fuckers had their day. Isn't that always the way?

Glasgow and Dundee must feel f*cked off as they had pro-independence majorities. Cameron has promised greater powers to Scotland for taxation and welfare. He won't keep all his word but he might keep just enough to not show himself as a complete liar. Here's hoping..

cheers steve and elsie. Cameron won't have to keep his word. Next up Boris Johnson.

Cameron or Johnson? Oh no. What's worse, Nigel Farage? Where's that hero hotnumber I mislaid? This is a case for Batfink. Well done on the shiny cherries.

The fall-out for the No vote is massive and the imbecilic Bulldog-tattooed Stella drinkers don't have a clue where it puts them.  Cameron and the Tories have stuffed everyone and I do mean everyone. If you sitting pretty with plenty dosh and good connections you'll no doubt be sporting a very relieved and ver wide grin.

 

Submitted by celticman on

People with money and connections don't have to grin. They can pay some other mug to do it for them.

I really like how much your emotion shows through, you can feel your outrage and it takes hold of you as you read.
