By Norman Longworth
The polling is over the decision is clear
A triumph for ignorance, hatred and fear
One in the eye for political nobs
Another for intellectual snobs
A triumph for old folks who bought all that crap
Disaster for youngsters who’ll now face the rap
A triumph for Murdoch, the Mail and the Sun
Disaster for everyone in the long run
Triumph for patriots with brains in the sand
Who couldn’t work out what’s best for their land
Disaster for workers whose jobs are on hold
And good British companies whose goods can’t be sold
So its goodbye to reason, goodbye hopefulness
Goodbye to employment, goodbye NHS
As Britain’s direction flies far to the right
And British values far into the night
