Call Of Duty: G.B. Special Edition (Welcome To Armed Soldiers On The Streets).

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
