Boris Johnson’s Brexit strategy is imperilling centuries of common purpose. It can’t be allowed to succeed
DAMNALOT (August 11)
There will always be an England
though it might be rather smal.
An England that may not extend
an inch beyond The Mall.
At one end, THE PALACE
with its Victoria Memorial.
At the other, Charles I
(whose end was rather gorier),
sitting on a horse beneath
Nelson's tow'ring column.
An effect, that when viewed,
leaves one feeling solemn.
Also nearby can be seen
Uganda's High Commission.
Imposing on our English “green”.
Who gave them permission?
Feeling peckish? If one does,
one can get a snack.
Pret A Manger is located
behind Admiralty's back.
This other Eden, demi-heaven
daily gets less English.
We must take our England back,
all foreignness extinguish.
This is our land, our England,
we Englishmen proclaim,
1066. Shakespeare. THE QUEEN!
Plus things we needn't name.
There still will be an England
when the E.U. is long dead.
There will always be an England.
[In dead King Charlie's head!]
