Roger Service Says:
Naval ratings were ordered not to take part in the Common Wealth’s candidate campaign at Portsmouth. —Press Report. Ye Mariners of England That guard our native land, Your service at election times Is resolutely banned. The politics of Britain are not for your to know As you sweep through the deep while the stormy winds do blow. The citizens of England May face the Party storm. Put not the citizens who wear A naval uniform. You have no other duty but to fight your country’s foe, You must keep to the deep when the Party tempests blow Though the Commons tempests rages long and stormy winds do blow. • —Tribune.
