We're All In This Together
A wideboy without too much brain
Has bragged that the rich can obtain
A bloke's helping hand
For a few hundred grand;
Lord Ashcroft knows, that is insane.
It is an unjustified thought,
Which must be most zealously fought,
That people who count
Would pay that amount
And then expect chaps to be bought.
Of course that is not how we raise
Conservative pennies these days.
Our policy game
Is always the same:
It's never the rich man who pays.

Terrific. And true.

Thanks. It's reassuring, isn't it, that the one thing the British Neoliberal Party doesn't think valuable enough to offer for sale is its integrity.
