Worthwhile listening, this is.

'There are dark clouds over Clacton' is a particular gem, I think.

"Air Miles met Virginia; she was just seventeen.
Delivered on the orders of Jeffrey Epstein
On the issue of consent, everyone knew what it meant
To say 'no' to the son of a queen."

A cartoon of Nigel Farage as a frog and Tommy Robinson as a rat, standing in front of a dirty union jack. Robinson is making a Nazi salute. Farage is mimicking him, holding a glass of red wine aloft.

The flags are out for the predators
The flags are out for the sex pests
From Tommy’s long list of abusers
To Jeffrey Epstein’s special guest

The flags are out for the Rapist-in-Chief
Meet the King, wave to the crowd
The flags are out for the predators
Don’t it make you proud

A cartoon of Donald Trump as an elephant

This land of riches, this land of rags
This land of lampposts and angry flags
Of roundabouts and hasty tags
Oh England, can you tell me where it hurts?
