The troops on the ground on British streets
are there solely to protect us,
so the rhetoric goes
and the decision to have armed forces
supplied by an outside firm
is to save the taxpayer the expense of one solitary
Pound being used for what is effectively
Marshall Law, a crack down on the Militant extremists
in our midst.
Our protection, if it was for our protection,
If it was indeed to keep us safe,
to be able to wrap our arms in comfort and joy
