I Shall Vote Labour

This was a poem by Christopher Logue that was doing the rounds in the 1960's. A bit dated now, but.................


I shall vote Labour
I shall vote Labour because
God votes Labour.
I shall vote Labour to protect
the sacred institution of The Family.
I shall vote Labour because
I am a dog.
I shall vote Labour because
upper-class hoorays annoy me in expensive restaurants.
I shall vote Labour because
I am on a diet.
I shall vote Labour because if I don't
somebody else will:
AND
I shall vote Labour because if one person
does it
everybody will be wanting to do it.
I shall vote Labour because if I do not vote Labour
my balls will drop off.
I shall vote Labour because
there are too few cars on the road.
I shall vote Labour because I am
a hopeless drug addict.
I shall vote Labour because
I failed to be a dollar millionaire aged three.
I shall vote Labour because Labour will build
more maximum security prisons.
I shall vote Labour because I want to shop
in an all-weather precinct stretching from Yeovil to Glasgow.
I shall vote Labour because
the Queen's stamp collection is the best
in the world.
I shall vote Labour because
deep in my heart
I am a Conservative.

Nowadays, you need to add:

I shall vote Tory because
I am anti- Islam, misogynistic and xenophobic.

“Is everyone who votes labour an anti Semite”. Of course not, but they will be voting for someone that is.

I'll be voting for Stella Creasey as the Labour candidate in my area. Is she an anti-Semite? Haven't seen any evidence of that, do you have any links?

Those who hate Corbyn, because they are terrified of him, have to smear him, they have nothing else left to fight with.

The Tories can hardly use their record over the past 9 years can they?

Proposition joe, you will in effect be voting for Corbyn who is a rabid antisemite. He has been called out as such by numerous public figures but has never sought to sue them for libel simply because he knows he would lose.

I will vote Labour as I hate the Tories and everything they stand for.
In my area Labour at the last General Election were beaten by a few thousand votes .
If I lived in an area where it was a close thing between the Tories and any other party I would tactically vote to stop the Tories get in.
If you are are working class or any other class that think it is wrong to reduce workers rights, like the Tories have consistently done you can only vote Labour or tactically vote to keep the right wing Tories and Brexit Party out.

I won't be voting for Corbyn, as I don't live in Islington. Do you know how our Parliament works?

Who are the 'numerous public figures', out of interest?

If you say Rachel Riley or the Labour Friends of Israel I'm going to have to log off from laughing too hard and not respond to your smears any further.

Not everyone in labour is an anti-Semite but every anti-Semite votes labour.
Even the Nazi ones? I find that unlikely.
