quote:


There’s an inner thing in every man,
Do you know this thing my friend?
It has withstood the blows of a million years,
And will do so to the end.

It was born when time did not exist,
And it grew up out of life,
It cut down evil’s strangling vines,
Like a slashing searing knife.

It lit fires when fires were not,
And burnt the mind of man,
Tempering leadened hearts to steel,
From the time that time began.

It wept by the waters of Babylon,
And when all men were a loss,
It screeched in writhing agony,
And it hung bleeding from the Cross.

It died in Rome by lion and sword,
And in defiant cruel array,
When the deathly word was ‘Spartacus’
Along the Appian Way.

It marched with Wat the Tyler’s poor,
And frightened lord and king,
And it was emblazoned in their deathly stare,
As e’er a living thing.

It smiled in holy innocence,
Before conquistadors of old,
So meek and tame and unaware,
Of the deathly power of gold.

It burst forth through pitiful Paris streets,
And stormed the old Bastille,
And marched upon the serpent’s head,
And crushed it ‘neath its heel.

It died in blood on Buffalo Plains,
And starved by moons of rain,
Its heart was buried in Wounded Knee,
But it will come to rise again.

It screamed aloud by Kerry lakes,
As it was knelt upon the ground,
And it died in great defiance,
As they coldly shot it down.

It is found in every light of hope,
It knows no bounds nor space
It has risen in red and black and white,
It is there in every race.

It lies in the hearts of heroes dead,
It screams in tyrants’ eyes,
It has reached the peak of mountains high,
It comes searing ‘cross the skies.

It lights the dark of this prison cell,
It thunders forth its might,
It is ‘the undauntable thought’, my friend,
That thought that says ‘I’m right!’

-Bobby Sands

Whatever happens tomorrow, we will keep fighting. We are on the right side of history.

Political parties are not allowed to campaign whilst polls are open in case new information comes to light whilst some people have already voted and others have not, broadcast mediums extend this to the whole day of the polls until they close at 10pm (sorry it might not be called purdah for this)

In the 21st century when there are still lines at polling stations when voting has "officially" closed this is also a pain point but the media can't help itself

That's daft when there are probably quite a lot of postal votes who hastily voted Tory wishing they hadn't now (with new info about the Chicken Johnson etc).

Best thing is, they were shown up in front of their araminter and jemimas. When one of them tried to grab my tablet saying " what are you looking at" I replied " nothing. Just replying to you on grindr", then he took the pansiest swing at me, his little cabal tried to pin me to the table, and were shortly dragged off out opf the door after I had been indiscriminately administering shoes to testicles ( if Tories possess such things)

I always find it amusing when I start a track like that and there's an advert at the start for granny clothing catalogue clothes or whatever (not because I've bought any but my similarly aged friends and I often jest on FB about the type of clothes we're expected to wear based on our ages.

Aye and if it did happen, libdems would be like "we can work with Labour as long as they get rid of Yvette Cooper", meanwhile coalescing with the tories again.

Well now you've done it. That poem you quoted mentions Bastille so I'm now wandering in the Rush archives:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT1gmKUoqbY

Lyrics:

quote:

Ooh, there's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel, and let his kingdom rise
Ooh, bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by
And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, o choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise
Lessons taught, but never learned
All around us, anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago, the mould was cast
For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys, whoa
