... the British plague...


… the British plague…

 

 

… like some plague of old…

a joyless oppression has descended over Britain…

… no longer is it apparently acceptable to strive…

 

… to work hard and imaginatively

 

and improve and prosper…

… but to reward the work shy, the lazy and untalented…

often giving them more than earned by the diligent

encouraging the idle drones that infect us…

 

… really… we do not deserve to survive…
