Love Song for a Moderate

But we had to Get The Tories Out, right? Right?

How can they call you a fascist 

when you're such a moderate soul?

You never voted for Brexit,

you send your kids to a state school

(a good one, that you moved for, it's true,

but why make your kids pay for your                                                                   principles?

Besides, you still followed the rules.)

You campaigned for a new referendum,

but we can't ignore the Red Wall: 

some people's concerns are legitimate.

2019 was a real wake-up call.

We can't be beholden to activists,

have to sacrifice some for the good of the                                                                      whole.

It's not fair that they call you a fascist: 

you're simply a moderate soul,

and when the time comes you will grass on your neighbours;

and, when this is over, 

claim you never noticed

the smell from the camp down the road.
