Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Ode to Michael Gove (following the sacking of Downhills Governing Body)

Here's something I wrote in response to the sacking of the Governing Body at Downhills Primary School in Tottenham and how angry and disenfrachised it's making us all feel:

ODE TO MICHAEL GOVE

There once was a fella named Gove
That only his mother could love
The Downhills GB
Said ‘NO ACADEMY’

And so he just gave ‘em the shove

 

But that’s not the end of the story

Be you Labour, LibDem or a Tory

Democracy’s dead

You have put it to bed

And the future is looking quite gory

 

Revolution is not the Brit way

At least that’s what most people say

But you’ve pushed us some more

You’ve caused a furore

And Govey, you might rue the day

 

In Tottenham we fight for our schools

We’re not ‘Trots’, but nor are we fools

We won’t let you butcher

Our dear children’s future

Just ‘cos we don’t play by your rules

 

Yes, it’s ‘carve ‘em up’ time for the state

The NHS and our schools on a plate

But is it improvement

Or big assets movement?

It’s the greed and the lies that we hate

 

‘Sponsor’ Harris sell carpets and mats

The rug trade has made them fat cats

But kids all find flooring

Incredibly boring

And we doubt it’ll help with their SATS

 

So here’s one last thought, Mr Gove

Since you seem to have something to prove

Take your ‘sponsor’

And stick it up yer bum, Sir

And then let us see how you move!

It's too late, Sacha. Your cover is blown. All that pretending you knew nothing about history and literature. Brilliant.

Ali G, Borat, Bruno. Fantastic. But Will Hoyle/Billy Hole is the best yet! How could anyone have believed such a caricature of a Tory? But I was certainly taken in. As I'm sure were most people on this site. Comic genius.

Thanks, Sacha. Still in character? What a professional!

Asking coyly, are you a member of a political party? may be more guileful than it appears.

Armed with an applicant willing to fess up to party membership, the Majority Group can check the name with their own records. Either the name is a match and he or she is one of us; or the name does not match and the applicant isn't one of us.

(but you don't have to tell us = don't tell us and we know who you're not!)  All of this is against a background of 40-years of one-party rule.

This is speculation of course, without hard evidence; but is it inconsistent with the circumstantial evidence?
