Still waiting for that source from the first spoof.

 

[CrabbedOne]

you will no doubt have noted the post dates from 2005, and things were different then

Yes, rather my point, Trump hates the UN as well and things will be very different in a decade. I suspect for unsuspecting Europeans in a very nasty way.

I don't trust that chart for a second. Everyone is practically Hitler on it, which is a bit silly.

Scotland-inspired poem created for Donald Trump inauguration

Sycophantic Inauguration poem!

Come out for the Domhnall, ye brave men and proud,
The scion of Torquil and best of MacLeod!
With purpose and strength he came down from his tower
To snatch from a tyrant his ill-gotten power.
Now the cry has gone up with a cheer from the crowd:
“Come out for the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!”
When freedom is threatened by slavery’s chains
And voices are silenced as misery reigns,
We’ll come out for a leader whose courage is true
Whose virtues are solid and long overdue.
For, he’ll never forget us, we men of the crowd
Who elected the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
When crippling corruption polluted our nation
And plunged our economy into stagnation,
As self-righteous rogues took the opulent office
And plump politicians reneged on their promise,
The forgotten continued to form a great crowd
That defended the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
The Domhnall’s a giver whilst others just take,
Ne’er gaining from that which his hands did not make.
A builder of buildings, employing good men,
He’s enriched many cities by factors of ten.
The honest and true gladly march with the crowd
Standing up for the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
True friend of the migrant from both far and near,
He welcomes the worthy, but guards our frontier,
Lest a murderous horde, for whom hell is the norm,
Should threaten our lives and our nation deform.
We immigrants hasten to swell the great crowd
Coming out for the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
Academe now lies dead, the old order rots,
No longer policing our words and our thoughts;
Its ignorant hirelings pretending to teach
Are backward in vision, sophomoric in speech.
Now we learnèd of mind add ourselves to the crowd
That cheers on the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
The black man, forgotten, in poverty dying,
The poor man, the sick man, with young children crying,
The soldier abroad and the mother who waits,
The young without work or behind prison gates,
The veterans, wounded, all welcome the crowd
That fights for the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
Whilst hapless old harridans flapping their traps
Teach women to look and behave like us chaps,
The Domhnall defends the defenseless forlorn;
For, a woman’s first right is the right to be born.
Now the bonnie young lassies that fly to the crowd
Have a champion in Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
But for all his great wisdom, the braw gallant man
Is matched by his children, the handsome Trump clan,
And the flower of Europe, Melania the fair,
Adds a luster and grace with her long flowing hair.
May they flourish and prosper to form a great crowd
Around the good Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
Is there man left in Scotland, without base alloy,
Who remembers the Wallace, the Bruce, or Rob Roy?
Or have five hundred years of a blasphemous lie
Robbed your manhood of might that you lay down and die?
Get up and walk free, all ye brave men and proud!
Long life to the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!

There was a lot more than that at one time. I suspect there has been some major pruning going-on.

Crispy once did a graph of the results of all the Political Compass threads - maybe he can tell us how many there were at peak?

come gather round the fire and listen while i tell
how in the year of 17 a calamity befell
the land of the brave and the home of the free
and filled the tea party with laughter and glee
twas a chill day in dc, that much i recall
donald trump swore in public the law to uphold
tis sad oh too sad that the man lived to see
the next day, the twenty-first of that january

Shame William McGonagall isn't still around. He'd be perfect to write such a poem.

Yes. Tsk you, not personally providing mikey "if I say it twice, it's twice as true" mikey with fully cited references to everything you quote.

Let this be a lesson to you.

Whilst hapless old harridans flapping their traps

The Domhnall defends the defenseless forlorn;
For, a woman’s first right is the right to be born.

Have a champion in Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!

And yet if I was tie to this man up in a sack full of rattlesnakes and hurl it off a cliff, they'd be calling me the criminal.

Of course, since then Labour has moved further Left.
This is at the time of the EU referendum, and the letter C represents Jeremy Corbyn's position.
The Labour "moderates" are around where letter B indicates, according their study.
