Sneer about 2019, the impotence
of protest. Say nothing of slaughter.<\/p>\n
in your free suit, glasses, shoes.
Mention veterans. Stop boats.<\/p>\n
You have a right to watch football.

grown-ups. Sensible. Beige.
Pastiches of Cool Britannia.<\/p>\n
A tribute act. Stamping
outsourced. Hail profit. Forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
