wishing to start a thread:

but realised that I had to agree.

I watched the Westminster lunatics
swimming against the tide
and hoping to find a quick fix

The one who was steering the ship
seemed to have lost the compass
and committed too many a slip
as navigation reached an impasse.

For letting the boat run aground
the captain received no thanks
but was commanded by all around
to step down and walk the plank.

A sad state of affairs!
