[Stumped]

I penned this one in 2001 and the disillusionment I felt then has in no way subsided.

Crude Britannia
(The true face of Blair’s Britain)

LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY
Where hope has largely been eradicated,
And glory is something that once was.

MOTHER OF THE FREE . . . and easy.
Where the working man exists solely to ensure
that the criminal and the work-shy attain a better
standard of living than himself.

HOW SHALL WE EXTOL THEM
Whereas fat-cats, pop icons and footballers are lauded;
the real heroes: men and women of the armed forces,
the health service, the emergency services and the
teaching profession, are vilified and castigated by those
that they would deem to serve.

WHO WERE BORN OF THEE
Where the sanctity and values of marriage and
family life seem to have been subjugated by the
immoral preachings of the combined media, with
little or no interference from the sitting government.
