Thought I'd share what a long standing friend has penned:
The government receives the heartfelt thanks of a grateful nation
For selling it some shares and the untold benefits of privatisation
As leaky water companies pump their filthy sewage into our rivers
You can rest assured that greed and a free market always delivers
While energy deficient companies inflate their dividends and profits
Consumers starve to keep warm and empty out their frozen pockets
As the mail gets lost in dividends, sub-postmasters stand accused
Public sector workers, doctors and nurses, get pilloried and abused
The courts are adjourned for lack of barristers, and criminals rejoice
Travelling abroad by plane, train or ferry is hostage to Brexit’s choice
We give thanks for tax cuts that feed public need and private greed
The decaying carcass on which only hedge funds and vultures feed

I’ve been to a few McGonagall suppers in the 1990s. Some were quite hunourous but of course the more toasts that were made the less you cared. It aways seemed strange starting the meal with your desert though.
