Si Philbrook
Fly Posters Will Be Prosecuted
muslim students with rucksacks
will not be sat next to on trains,
young blacks will be stopped
and searched,
children will be driven to school
in fourbyfours,
gays will be beaten
and jews will be spat at,
men will fuck whoever they can
and lie to their wives,
politicians will smile
and kiss babies,
the homeless will die on the streets
when the weather turns,
prostitutes will take crack
and executives will take cocaine,
targets on CO2 emissions
will be talked about,
footballers will get away with rape
and drunk driving,
mcdonalds will sell burgers
and starbucks will sell coffee,
fly posters
will be prosecuted,
this is england
have a nice day.
