If Gordon Brown should ever read this,
Maybe he'll think back to the years
When, inexplicably, he sold most of our gold reserves
And, hopefully, might just burst into tears!

After Blair he was another disaster
Also yearning for prestige and power
Spending money like water, hand over fist,
This was not the UK's finest hour.

He sought to keep the Labour party in power
By changing the face of the nation
Following the dictates of union chiefs
And allowing illegal immigration.

He wanted to bring about social change.
Where the majority would take a Labour vote,
And he'd soften them up with more benefits,
That would sink the Conservative boat.

Then, having spent all our gold reserves,
And knowing that political reckoning was due,
He spent even more of the little we had left
To drop his successors right into the stew.

Alistair Darling followed on in similar style,
An utter political disaster still,
"We're going to bail the euro out
And there'll be no money left in the till!"

In the general election Nu-Labour lost out,
But, quite surprisingly to you and to me.
Conservative votes did not hold majority sway.
Without the Liberals they lacked an entity.

Coalition's not the greatest thing in the world.
Because different views often prevail.
And compromise becomes the talk of the day.
So direct action is held back by the tail.

The national debt has vastly increased.
We're borrowing more from the world every day,
We've got to rein in and start paying back,
As the time of reckoning is not far away.

Ed Milliband is now in the Labour chair.
A sixth former in style and address.
Denying the crimes of his former cohorts.
Stirring up trouble with the Unions and Press.

With Nu-Labour baby went out with the bathwater.
Massive over-expenditure in the Labour tradition.
And now they're howling from the opposition seats.
"It's wasn't us, it's the Coalition!".

It's the Coalition that are left to face up to this mess,
And straighten out our financial affairs.
To do this they've got to reduce all our debts.
And institute urgent economic repairs.

It will hit hard and is hardly a popular move,
None of us want to have less than before.
But the trouble is that we don't have a choice.
We don't have financial credibility anymore.

Thousands are going to hit the streets.
Strikes and 'go-slows' will prevail.
The country will come to a complete stand-still.
But, despite it all, we must not fail.

Our children and grandchildren, at some time in the future,
Will be faced with a huge and an enormous bill
Deprivation and poverty will be the talk of the day
As our creditors close in for the kill.
