WHIM WHAM

Mr Muldoon said the Labour Party was now dominated by ‘the affluent, urban, well-heeled middle class, for the most part well educated . . . articulate, and considerably left of centre’ . . . the party had alienated the working people—News. Sir, take a good Look at Yourself, Study your Face in the Glass — Now, aren’t you One of the ‘affluent, urban, ‘Well-heeled Middle Class’? Well educated, too — If my Suspicion’s correct — And ‘articulate,’ expressing Yourself Not without Effect. Can it be You that’s dominant In the Labour Party, now? Is this a View that appeals to You, Or one You would disavow? . You and your well-heeled Mates Of the Middle Class (or Classes) — Where are the old-time Champions, true Sons of the Toiling Masses? Never mind who your Friends are — Rob’s got his Eye on You. Can’t you be one of the Right People, And ‘Left of Centre’ too? Socialists in the Spa Pool, Nobody knows what R*DS Plotting your Doom in the Rumpus Room, Under the Kingsize Beds! Our masterly Counter-puncher — A Left and a Right swings He! , ... One to the Well-heeled Middle Class, One to the S.U.P. - • While the ‘Working People’ wonder Just where THEY come in, And what is the Name of this Party Game, And if Anybody can win!
