<p>You&#8217;ll be glad to know that fat sweaty coppers from the Politically Correct Thought Police are keeping you safe in your homes by operating a zero tolerance policy against little girls.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And why not, the Labour Prime Minister who ushered in the Politically Correct Thought Police reign of terror promised to be tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime. Well crimes are committed by adults and children grow up to be adults so it makes sense to crack down on childhood games and make sure the kinds are well intimidated.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or so it might seem to parents in Kent.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seemed like time I put some of my poetry on WordPress but I couldn&#8217;t be arsed starting a new blog today, so as this is a satirical blog and I think too much contemporary poetry is miserablist and navel gazing here are a couple of satirical verses. Read the text here or follow the links to hear MP3 audio performances.</p>
<p><strong>Fitness Fanatic&#8217;s Blues</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/ffblues.mp3">Hear the audio version of Fitness Fanatics Blues</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">I looked in the mirror six months ago,<br /> Saw a man standing there with a big beer belly<br /> My girl said Man you’ve got to lose some weight<br /> All you do is drink beer and watch sport on the tele.<br /> Get youself down to the gymnasium<br /> If you want to stay fit then you’ve got to get wise<br /> Jog every morning work out every night<br /> You can’t drink no more beer, cant eat no more pies.<br />  </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></p>
<p>At six every morning I’m out on the road<br /> Rain sun or frost I jog for an hour<br /> But when I get home and tell my girl I feel good<br /> She says get in the bathroom and take a cold shower</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></p>
<p>I don’t eat potatoes nor pasta or chips<br /> I’ve become a slave to my calorie chart<br /> Health foods and salads keep my weight down<br /> But don’t stand too close ‘cause I’m liable to fart<br /> I’ve been a fitness fanatic for half a year now<br /> My body looks good but I’ve still got the blues<br /> I can’t eat, I don’t drink if I want to get high<br /> I just take a sniff at my training shoes.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Boy&#8217;s Games</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/boysgams.mp3">Hear the audio performa</a><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/boysgams.mp3">nce of Boy&#8217;s Games</a><br /></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p>He said I am a great stud<br /> A stallion, a bloke<br /> There’s nothing I like better<br /> Than giving girlies a good poke<br /> I eat curry and drink lager,<br /> hate sissy things like art,<br />  like football, porn and violence;<br /> I curse and belch and fart.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p>She said I want a strong man<br /> Who will dominate and rule me<br /> Not some weepy new &#8211; age wuss,<br /> All that caring doesn’t fool me.<br /> He told her &#8220;I hate woofters too<br /> I think they should be shot<br /> So you’re the kind of girl for me<br /> I fancy you a lot.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p>And as he took her to his flat<br /> She gazed in adoration<br /> How cruelly reality<br /> Can shatter expectation<br /> For when she tried to be affectionate<br /> And placed his hand upon her thigh<br /> He said &#8220;you’re just a cheap slut&#8221;<br /> And gave her a black eye.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p>But still she thought she loved him<br /> She loved his greasy, unwashed hair<br />  Powerfully muscled shoulders,<br /> And distressed underwear.<br /> She told him &#8220;I’m your woman,<br /> I’ll do anything you ask.&#8221;<br /> &#8220;He replied &#8220;I want a woman,<br /> Who can be one of the lads.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p>So she dressed in jeans and T-shirt<br /> but it was not enough<br /> He told her &#8220;that mascara<br /> Makes you look just like a pouf.&#8221;<br /> She said &#8220;I am your woman,<br /> Please fill me every night&#8221;<br /> So he took her to his local<br /> And filled her up with pints.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p>She said &#8220;let’s go out dancing&#8221;<br /> He said &#8220;You’ll make me look a fool&#8221;<br /> So she followed him to the pub again<br /> And learned how to play pool<br /> Finally he was pleased with her<br /> She had put aside her girlie past<br /> And he thought she was learning<br /> To be a bloke at last.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p>She begged him &#8220;Please make love to me?<br /> Our sex life is a farce.&#8221;<br /> So he bent her across the table<br /> And screwed her boyish arse.<br />  </p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So who is running the show in Washington, the Obama administration, the Mexical dug Cartel, The Muslim Brotherhood, Obnoxio The Clown?</p>
<p>While British visitors are still having to hand over their nail files, ball point pens, bottles of Lucozade and combs at U S immigration control, the message going out to would be illegal immigrants and political activists trying to infiltrate Obamalan is &#8216;Drugs, weapons, explosives, illegal aliens people traffickers with boat loads of sex industry conscripts and lazy, flatulent Volkwagen Beetle drivers with repulsive body odours are all are welcome under a new directive from the caring, sharing, diversity loving Obama administration, just so long as the wannabe malfeasants are prepared to join hands and sing Kumbaya when ordered.</p>
<p>There is an ongoing, emergency situation with the U.S. Coast Guard, which is now an agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Their job is to stop illegal entrants, drug smugglers, gun runners and evil bearded demons intent on endangering life limb and lardy arse. And they are failing.</p>
<p>The Obama administration&#8217;s answer? Simples, if you are not succeeding at what you are supposed to be doing pretend you are really trying to do something else. Thus:</p>
<p>“By directive, starting last Monday, 29 April 2013 (barring emergency calls) Coast Guard District 7, which stretches from the Carolinas to Alabama to Florida, has been restricted from activity. There will be no enforcement patrols of large or small craft allowed in U.S. territorial seas, district-wide,” according to a WDW confidential source.&#8217;</p>

<p>Sohow could we mark the passing of The Gorgon of Grantham?</p>
<p>A song originating from the hardships on the late 19th and early 20th centuries that we used to sing in the playground at school, not understanding the significance at the time (well we got our free milk in the 1950s) fitted the job description.</p>
<p>It seemed an appropriate way to remember the havoc caused in industrial areas by the economic and business policies of Margaret Thatcher&#8217;s government.</p>
<p>Boggart Blog presents our tribute to Maggie Thatcher, the iron lady.</p>

<p>Most of the wailing and gnashing of teeth we hear coming from the left these days concerns human rights.
