Time of the toad – ode to Alastair Campbell







Alastair Campbell still thinks it was right
To invade Iraq – the pornographer-in-chief
Still spouting the same, self-serving bullshit
The foul-mouthed spin-doctor was Tony's boy

His unhinged Messianic self-belief
Echoes that of his master, Mister Blair –
Whose moral crusade besmirched the UK –
Known as the “Middle East peace envoy”

Campbell was famous for four-letter tirades
Against other people in the media
Made the BBC ready for Murdoch
Attacked Gilligan, in the name of “lies”

He goes on believing; he's not ashamed
Mythologising his own part in history
Does he sleep soundly, without a trace of guilt?
Because of Blair, a hundred thousand died
