ASYLUM SEEKING DALEKS!
(For Ann Winterton)
They claim their planet's dying:
that soon it's going to blow
And so they're coming here - they say
they've nowhere else to go....
With their strange computer voices
and their one eye on a pole
They're moving in next door and then
they're signing on the dole.....
Asylum seeking Daleks
are landing here at noon!
Why can't we simply send them back
or stick them on the moon?
It says here in the Daily Mail
they're coming here to stay -
The Loony Lefties let them in!
The middle class will pay......
They say that they're all pacifists:
that doesn't wash with me!
The last time I saw one I hid
Weeks behind the settee...
Good Lord - they're pink. With purple bumps!
There's photos of them here!
Not just extra-terrestial....
The bloody things are queer!
Yes! Homosexual Daleks
And they're sponging off the State!
With huge Arts Council grants
to teach delinquents how to skate!
It's all here in the paper -
I'd better tell the wife!
For soon they will EXTERMINATE
Our British way of life.....
This satire on crass ignorance
and tabloid-fostered fear
Is at an end. Now let me give
One message, loud and clear.
Golf course, shop floor or BNP:
Smash bigotry and hate!
Asylum seekers - welcome here.
You racists: emigrate!

Is it still Alternative History when a story makes no substantive changes to known historical record but imagines what might have occurred beyond the point where no definitive record exists? Or is that something else? E.g. Agatha Christie's missing days could be explored speculatively without divergence from existing history. |

According to 4 different polls last night quoted on the BBC this morning, support for the various leaders after the debate ranged as follows:
Clegg 37-58%
Cameron 19-31%
Brown 13-32%
I think I'm right in saying the Pollsters also usually cite a margin of error of +/-3% making the maximum spread for Clegg 27%, Cameron 18% and Brown 25%.
So given such wild discrepancies remind me again why we pay any attention to these figures? |
