It you thought their corruption was bad before
Just imagine it now they’ve just voted to make it unpunishable

🎵Hold a chicken in the air
Pump the rivers full of poo
Start a war with France
And abandon Ireland too
Sell the NHS
Treat the populace like fools
And if you get caught out
Then you simply change the rules…🎵 pic.twitter.com/CW9KCiO0AQ— Robin Flavell (@RobinFlavell) November 3, 2021

TORIES: we are the party of Law and Order.
EVERYONE ELSE: good, so you’ll condemn corrupt MPs.
TORIES: not like that.
