This stanza was written during the week-end preceding what seemed to be Parliament’s last and only chance to block Mr Johnson’s stated option of a “No Deal” Brexit. The Executive vs the Legislature. Mr Johnson and “The People” (or enough of them, he hoped) vs parliamentary scrutiny, or – as he might put it – the Westminster “establishment.” Johnson’s Etonian Demagoguery vs the tattered scarecrow of democracy in the UK, desperately in need of renewal, but presently in desperate need of our support.
