Oh! Mr Porter!

Oh! Mr. Porter, whatever will you do?
You want to stand as President,
And now theyâre bullying you!
Tell me who to vote for as quickly as you can,
Oh! Mr. Porter, what a silly girl I am!
I joined the student union, just like you asked me to,
Came up to town to stop the fees.
Just a week we had of it, all round the place weâd riot
Wasnât I sorry on the day I had to go back home?
Worried about the kettling, too late to demonstrate,
Dropped a concrete block on plod, my friends all fell about,
Got my photo taken, said âgood â byeâ âYouâre nicked.â the plod did cry,
But where the Hell were you?
Oh! Mr. Porter, whatever will you do?
You want to stand as President,
You say theyâre bullying you!
Tell me who to vote for as quickly as you can,
Oh! Mr. Porter, what a silly girl I am!
Then you went to Manchester, and I had to follow you,
You tried to flash the race card: said theyâ d called you Jew,
You said youâd give us leadership, and lead us from the front,
But your election portfolio was really an affront,
âBuilding on a record yearâ? The only record thus is this,
The criminal one I got for âRiot and Affrayâ.
Now Iâll never get a job they say.
Oh! Mr. Porter, whatever will you do?
You refuse to stand as President,
You say theyâre bullying you!
Tell me who to vote for as quickly as you can,
Oh! Mr. Porter, what a silly girl I am!

Any butthurt that members of the NUS feel as a result of their Labour
inspired mass hysteria and communist aspirations brings a smile to my face.
The country is broke and they want MORE!
They had a point about changes to funding but lost the public support by
the selfishness of their tantrums and the damage and carnage.
If you want to be a Doctor and earn £100k per year then you pay for it once
your are earning good money after you pass your course. Feeâs will encourage
them to think about what they study and to take it more seriously. Why should
the bin man contribute to your life of high earnings via general taxes?
As long as everyone has equal access to higher education then we are doing
OK.
In case the student muppets forgot, here is a reminder, it was their Labour
mates that destroyed the UK economy by spending too much and running up
National Debt in times of economic prosperity while sucking up the City of
London and putting in place the FSA to incompetently regulate the City of
London. It was not branch banking it was London Investment banking that
brought the country to its kneeâs.
In my ideal world, (Not reality) Certain people would be hanging from
Lampposts for the various crimes committed against every person in the UK and
future generations unborn starting with previous Labour Government Ministers,
Peers and Quangoâs. I would even go as far as to suggest members of the ECHR
could participate in the interests of fairness.
(In the interests of avoiding court I would like to say some parts of this
post are a joke, decide for yourself which bit)

Student politicos are ususal most unprepossessing. Mr. Porter unusually so;
he seems to have only one facial expression â the smirk. In that, he reminds
me of a former NUS president from way back, one Jack âI blow with the windâ
Straw.

Oh Anna! Dear Anna, they wonât leave me alone,
They persecute me and
make my life hell.
So sometime late in the summer Iâm going to trek
home.
Iâll leave behind my Blackberry, my desk and laptop
And watch as
the students crumble and flop
Theyâll probably elect Bergfeld once Iâm out the door
And organise,
occupy and agitate
And accuse me of being some Tory whore.
But one day
theyâll look back and see what I did
Was to revitalise student politics â I
opened the lid.

A bit of social comment, with no upstaging!
Boots, boots, marching on the ground.
They feel like theyâre Egyptians,
but make a British sound.
Glass, glass, glistening on the road.
Look thereâs Winston Churchill,
theyâve bladders to unload.
Flags, flags, reddening the sky.
Waved by sons & daughters with
trust funds piled up high.
Debt, debt, do you think they care ?
For unborn generations the cupboard
can be bare.

Very clever, had to sing it to the end.
The NUS is the only union to which I have ever belonged, donât remember
them being any use then. Theyâd have done better with Will Hay.
