On budget day the red box is held aloft,
Darling's shock white hair a cut fox
spilling itself to crimson. A 4% increase
on the price of wine & beer puts no stop
on a binge, the well-off drink in the belief
that they help the poor through tax.
Someone said it was a budget of Old
Mother Hubbard - she's wearing
aphetamine gladrags & still wants
to eradicate child poverty. Pint glasses
are clinked around the crib to make
a special moment of joyous spontaneity
that may be remembered tomorrow -
as John James put it: "If there is memory
in working class life it is because
things are always being taken away"

And when you also have to stand in the snow to smoke...
At least you can have a bet on Good Friday now; a frisson of excitement where though you are still losing money you don't actually feel you're being ritually buttfucked for it. I neither smoke nor bet, but christ knows (no pun intended) I need a drink
What do you expect if you go and see poseurs like The Fall - they probably fucked him up in the first place. Sounds like he may have experienced a moment of epiphany though, leading to an all round improvement in his life: I hope so, at least he won't be running into people like you.
