Dirty Linen OR Sir Leveson Commission
The ongoing Leveson Commission is an inquiry is into the culture, practice and ethics of the press. This came about of course following the scandal of the News of the World wholescale ‘hacking’ of phones to find/create stories.
Our resident poet Jasan’s latest offering is titled “Dirty Linen” or “Sir Leveson’s Commission” which he says is actually revealing an unholy alliance of corruption at the higest levels of society of Britain.
He says“Corruption is at the core of the British Society which is shocking to the hard working ordinary folks of Britain. Police, Media, Media Barons, Lords and Sirs and Commissioners all caught in this web of deception and dirty alliance.”
Blessed be the people of Britain
For living in ignorance
Of the high society’s dirty linen
Which for the sake of democratic prudence
Sir Leveson charged in public to wash
And the details let’s hope not end in a tosh
–
Unholy alliance of cops and media barons
Phone tapping’s to fill gossip columns
Payments to become lords and barons
All shameful episodes within British realm
Rotten to the core the establishment,
Rules all seem vaguely bent for small payment
–
Blessed be the ordinary folks of Britain
For who rules never a burden
Rather it punishes them to be in prison
While high society’s crimes end in commissions
So Barons, Lords, Sirs and Police Commissioners
Walk free to flaunt laws again as Board Members
