Consider You're in the Poorhouse w' All of Us

Following Gordon Brown's speech Charlotte Gore has a wonderful post, about him returning us to Victorian Dickensian Britain, not that he'll call it that of course. Also after what will be 13 years of Labour promising to reform the Lords and the Commons, we're going to have to wait for a fourth Labour term for them to fulill those promises of the spring of 1997.

So I was insired about what is a poor single teenage mum called Olive, ends up being led to one of his poorhouses by the queen dodger Woeful Monica.

[WOEFUL MONICA]

So, Olive and wean, you're coming with me.

[OLIVE (spoken)]
Are you sure Mr. Gordon won't mind?

[MONICA (spoken)]
Mind?!

Consider yourself at home.
Consider yourself a scourge of society.
We've taken to you so strong.
It's clear we've messed our lives up wrong.
Consider yourself locked in
Consider yourself making the furniture.
There isn't a lot of space.
Who cares?..What ever we've got is ace!

If it should chance to be
We should see
Some Labour days
MPs have their ways
With us?
Always a-chance we'll meet
Somebody
Who passed the bill
While their voting at the House!
Consider this house your fate.
We don't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state...
You're in the Poorhouse
Now with us!

Consider yourself...

Happy MP ways,
For us.

[MONICA laughing then speaking]

Olive, get real next you'll be saying. "Please Nick can I have some liberty?" or, "Where is Chancellor Vince?" Don't you know that the voting system means we'll stuck here. We've as much chance of Ole Brown of Cameron actually rather than reviewing changing the situation.
