There ought to be an old folks’ demo
Gather, Piccadilly Square
Pull down Eros Statue
Eternal Youth, oh yeah??!!
Who got dumped in care homes
To ‘save the nhs’?
They were just ‘bed blockers
Discharged got no tests.
Left there with their carers
No proper PPE
ICU won’t take them
Have to keep those beds free.
Let’s delay the lockdown
‘Herd immunity’
Only old folk dieing
That’s OK you see.
So pack out Piccadilly
Cram all the old folks in
May just spread the virus
But a cause worth gathering.
