Snothin t do with me,
Sall blydi overseas,
Theyer all Arabs, Muslims anyway.

Ow about puttin ower people first,
Ow about ower war veterans
Oo live on-a streets?

All them fuckin lefties
Wavin them Palestinian flags –
Why don’ they move there?

Tha’s all yew yer about ,
Gaza this an Gaza tha,
Posh people desprut f’r a cause.

Theyer friggin terrorists, few ask me –
Amas, ostages, ‘member October 7th ?
With placards an chantin ‘From river t sea!’

Wha’s tha yew say – ‘Gransha fought fascism’?
‘I know, buh tha wuz Itler
An look wha ee wuz doin.

Genocide? Starvation? Forced displacement?
Wha yew on about ?I never
Seen any o tha on GB News on-a telly.’
