to encourage a withdrawal
gets fifteen years
without remission
man enters Parliament and orders cops
to deliver electric shock stunning cosh
nips off to Panama to make a secret deposit
ends in the Lords nicking more each day
for life
The Nasty Party
learning nothing
all the while
this that and the other prey into their cell phones
way beyond Henry The Eighth floor
Grenfell Tower
sprinkle of teardrops not enough
