Cotswold

On which side of the law do the real crooks work?

Whose money buys those houses in the Cotswolds,

the blacked-out 4x4s,

the elite schooling?

Who foots the bill?

Settles the fee?

There's something about watching them power away
from the hospital, Army HQ or Local Authority office.

Carriages bought from whatever avoidance of tax can be had
on cheques guaranteed by the Treasury.

Kings of hypocrisy milking the public sector dry
while raving that only private enterprise
will bring wealth to the country.

On a diet of public money, it seems.
