When we heard Laurence Fox was running for London Mayor* we rejoiced.
We cried with joy in the streets of Husborne Crawley**
For he is representing those silenced
those whose voices have not been heard.
The white upper-middle-classes
Old Harrovians
Members of acting dynasties
RADA graduates
Former spouses of Doctor Who companions
People who've been on prime-time TV regularly for their entire adult lives.
Telegraph journalists
and friends of Toby Young.
For who hears from these people
and who gets to hear their opinions?
They are ground down by the system
and excluded by the Woke.
Like the Israelites in Babylon
they cry by the rivers
they are dropped by their agents
and know the Morse franchise won't be extended to a fourth incarnation.
And so he will count his money
gnash his privately-educated teeth
wear a suit jacket with tattered jeans
like Richard Hammond in 2005
and put himself up for election.
Where he will sink like a stone
like Jonah in the sea
or those that descend to a political Sheol
and we would like to say he'll never be heard of again.
But no such luck.

He has no hope of success. He will muddy the waters and attract the votes of vaccine deniers, those who think that Right Wing politics are the right ones and my vote will go elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteNicely done (as he should be). Our vulpine 'friend' has no reason to complain yet does so anyway.
