Remember when they said it was five minutes to midnight?
that's right five minutes left on our clock,
well
shock and horror,
we're now in extra time waiting for the whistle to blow
so if you don't go and vote
don't ******* tell me
there's no hope,

your only hope under present conditions is in the cross you put on the ballot paper,

and no,
they won't paper over the cracks with spoiled papers.

if  you hear the whistle the game's over
and you can
kiss your future goodbye.
