My people, let pharaoh go
You don't need him; you don't need his tricks, you don't need his trinkets
My people, let pharaoh go
Without you there is no pharaoh
So all you have to do to let him go is to let him go
Just wake up tomorrow morning and say
Bye, pharaoh

Men of *righteousness*, stand up.
This man delivers a no-bullshit takedown of Trump and his MAGA supporters, no fucks given.
We should all be this mouthy and vocal. And I love his hat.

My latest blog piece. BBC Scotland's hit piece on Glasgow tells us a lot more about the agenda of the BBC in Scotland than it does about Glasgow. The BBC's great unmentionable is the link between far right protests, Loyalism & British nationalism.

Poets can't choose which of their poems strike a chord or go viral. Sheenagh Pugh's tired of being best known for this poem, for instance.
Sorry, Sheenagh, but it's a real hit...!
