Our Peter Hain. Our Peter, Peter Hain.

You’ve got to hand it to Peter Hain. Not content with liberating millions of blacks from the Apartheid of South Africa, he’s now liberated thousands of British workers from the Apartheid of not having a pension: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7147362.stm. Wow! £2.9 billion is a lot of money. Our canny ‘son of the Manse’ Gordon Brown has shown himself to be a master strategist too. If there’s a recession next year and massive redundancies then loads of people will benefit from this package and be appreciative to New Labour. So Labour’s vote goes up as unemployment rises. Cameron must be in despair. Anyway, here’s my ‘Ode to Peter Hain’:

Accused of robbing banks was he
But that was just skulduggery.
And on his character was not one stain.
Our Peter Hain. Our Peter, Peter Hain.

A boy who from the valleys hailed
But he saw that the Liberals failed.
And so became a part of Labour’s reign.
Our Peter Hain. Our Peter, Peter Hain.

Silver haired and nicely tanned
He forged peace in Northern Ireland.
A voice as sweet as sugar cane.
Our Peter Hain. Our Peter, Peter Hain.

‘You’ve had dodgy donations,’ was a recent jeer
But that was just a wicked smear
By Guido Fawkes - and quite inane.
Our Peter Hain. Our Peter, Peter Hain.

And to those whose pensions went down the shoot
Peter pledged to give much loot
And everyone was set to gain.
Our Peter Hain. Our Peter, Peter Hain.
