‘Now the folksinger came from America
To sing at the Albert Hall,
He sang his songs of protest
And fairer shares for all.
He sang how the poor were much too poor
And the rich too rich by far,
Then he drove back to his penthouse
In his brand new Rolls Royce car.’
-—Benny Hill, ‘What a World’, 1965.
Strangely that poem would apply equally to Obama and his SOTU tonight.
Benny Hill was the best.
Methinks Benny was a Tory.
