Westministenders: Theresa's Common People

She came from Oxfordshire she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied geography at Saint Hugh's College
That's where politics
Caught her eye

She told them that her husband was loaded
The press barons said "In that case have a rum and coca-cola"
She said "Fine"
And in thirty seconds time she said

I want to look like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to eat like common people
I want to sleep like common people
Like you

Well what else could Fiona and Nick do
They said "We'll see what we can do"

They took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
But they had to start it somewhere
So it started there
They said pretend you've got no money
She just laughed and said
"Oh you're so funny"
They smiled "Yeah”
Well we can't see anyone else smiling in here

Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to eat like common people
You want to sleep like common people
Like me

But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held Trump’s hand

Order that benefits get the chop
Tell them all to get a job
Promise to bring back the grammar school
Pretend you don’t think them a fool
But still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching the news talking about building the wall
All have to do is call your mates to fake it all

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
Whilst you blame it all on the EU
Because that’s all you can do

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get Brexit through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh about leaving the EU

It’s the most stupid thing that you will do
Because you think that it is cool
You’ll call them a ‘lying foreigner’
But don’t say we didn’t warn you
You’ll regret saying we are better off out
'Cause everybody hates a benefits tourist

It doesn’t matter if you can’t do the math
With all those pockets that you grease
You’ll win the vote in Bath

You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And wish they were all white
So you tell ‘The Big Lie’

Get THE flat above THE shop
Cut your hair and get THE job
Trick some mugs and hire some fool
Pretend you are not really cruel
But still you'll never get it right
Instead you're plotting late at night
About which ‘cockroach’ will take the fall
All have to do is call your mates to fake it all
Yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
As we plan to leave the EU
Because there's nothing else left to do

But ‘moan’ about how we don’t want to leave the EU.

Bomb in Manchester SadSadSad

BiglyBadgers · 23/05/2017 07:09

The bombing in Manchester is just horrific. Clearly targeting somewhere with children present. All parties have suspended campaigning. I am assuming this was intentionally trying to cause maximum disruption to the election. Sad

RedToothBrush · 23/05/2017 07:35

No posts from me today here.
Just woke up to the news.

Manchester is my city. Music is my passion.
I love Manchester.

Flowers for you, Red.

BigChocFrenzy · 23/05/2017 07:48

Horrific.
Police report it was a suicide bomber, which almost certainly means an Islamic terrorist.

I hate to be so pessimistic, but I've been expecting an attack this GE.
I expect one in the German GE too and was quite surprised there wasn't one in the US election

These murderous psychos crave attention and they think elections are when their atrocities can have the most effect.

Awful news.
Horrific.

What opportune timing for May though - takes her carcrash of an interview and the Dementia Tax U turn off the front page Sad

MangoSplit · 23/05/2017 08:13

Flowers for Red and anyone else in Manchester

prettybird · 23/05/2017 08:14

This generation of terrorists have truly understood the most effective way to operate: which is to foment random terror. Sad

We can't let them win Sad In some respects, the more random they are, the more it means that the only and best response is to continue to live life to the fullest.

RedToothBrush · 23/05/2017 08:21

I need no flowers. Save your flowers for those who need them.
My city is strong. I know it well.

I used to live near Manchester (in Bolton) and loved going in regularly. It's a great place. I remember the shock and devastation at the IRA bombing - but that was on a different scale to this tragic loss of life Sad

Manchester has shown the best of itself in the way that it has responded to help those caught up in it. Flowers

Already there were radio reports suggesting that "access to the Prime Minister will become harder" ...

Thoughts and prayers to all involved Flowers, and the usual admiration for the emergency services Star.

Was touched to hear that locals opened their homes, and were giving lifts and comfort where they could.

prettybird · 23/05/2017 08:59

I like this tweet from Hardeep Singh Kohli. It's the right response to attacks like this

@misterhsk: They want to stop us talking
Talk louder
They want to stop our music
Play more
They want to stop us living
Live better
They've already lost

HashiAsLarry · 23/05/2017 09:24

To my Manchester sisters (and brothers) here. Stay strong and play on Flowers

BigChocFrenzy · 23/05/2017 09:25

They target places of entertainment especially, because they hate people to be happy.
They are joy-killers
We won't let them win.

ElenaGreco123 · 23/05/2017 09:34

The Telegraph is still in a meltdown. On their front page they illustrate the horrible Manchester event with a picture of a teenage girl whose trousers were partially cut off by emergency services. The girl is clearly in pain and embarrassed. What is wrong with them?!

ElenaGreco123 · 23/05/2017 09:36

My bad. All newspapers do that.

Badders123 · 23/05/2017 10:24

Thinking of all those affected by the awful attack in Manchester😔
They think they will scare us....
They obv don't know mancunians very well!

whatwouldrondo · 23/05/2017 10:39

It I still a new low though in the west though isn't it? I can't think of an incident where they targeted children and the young. I think of the parents who were making that decision about whether they were old enough to let them go accompanied or unaccompanied........ However no doubt the twisted logic of the bombers will be that parents in the west should experience what parents in the Middle East experience everyday, two wrongs make a right said no truly humanitarian religion, including Isalam, ever.....

BigChocFrenzy · 23/05/2017 11:06

I've often wished that faces of the injured would be blanked out for their privacy, especially because often their clothes are torn open and they would not wish to be seen like that by millions.

However, imo that should only be a voluntary agreement by the media, not by law

Alternatively, the injured should have the right to charge for their image being used ?

TheElementsSong · 23/05/2017 11:44

It's just horrific. No words. Sad
