When Keats met Farage...
If the great romantic poet John Keats had been alive today, and had seen the Reform party, his great sonnet "On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" might have looked slightly different...
On First Looking Into Reform’s Agenda
(with apologies to John Keats)
Much have I travelled to hear Paul Golding
And many leftwing wokeish people scorned.
Round many Essex taprooms have I been
Which chavs in fealty to Wetherspoons hold.
Oft of one pro-Nazi wideboy had I heard
That ruled Reform as his demesne.
Yet ne’er heard I that estuary voice
Till I heard Farage speak out loud and mean.
Then felt I like some watcher of the polls
When a fag-ash fuhrer swims into its ken.
Or like stout Fiona Bruce on Question Time
When he’s there for the 38th time. Again?
While all his Gammon look with wild surmise,
Plastered, upon a roundabout in Dagenham
