Security realpolitik,
Involves many an underhand trick,
But I still can’t see why,
An American spy,
Needs to download a pic of your dick.

Now Robinson says he might go,
For saying that he didn’t know,
Of the OTR deal,
Which is rather surreal,
Don’t worry, it’s all just a show.

An editor thought it was wise,
To be seen to apologise,
For acting the jerk,
In the course of his work,
And chasing poor Sharon with spies.

When the Beeb hire a panel of folks,
To sit and tell topical jokes,
They don’t think it’s best,
To have a sausage fest,
From now on it can’t just be blokes.

Sit down and I’ll try to explain,
What’s happening in the Ukraine,
They’ve decided it’s best,
To lean to the west,
Which is causing the Russians some pain.

We all know the Tories have not,
Got a clue how to chat up a Scot,
Their threat with the pound,
Didn’t win any ground,
His own foot was all George Osborne shot.

There was plenty of glamour and glitz,
On display yesterday at the Brits,
It was lovely to see,
The boys from 1D,
Recognised for their decades of hits.

America’s number one spy,
Admits that it’s not nice to lie,
But he still condones,
The bugging of phones,
On the off chance it traps some bad guy.

It’s fantastic to live in this land,
Where our judges all understand,
The horror of rape,
So when they escape,
Their training, that’s perfectly grand.

If something’s supposed to be free,
Then surely there can’t be a fee,
I must lack the sight,
Of the great Alex White,
But how this works I just can’t see.
