‘The Pub With No Beer’ is a Socialist Goal – Socialism sounds like a political ideology that would cherish the idea of a ‘Social Community/Society’ But it’s not! – The truth is the Exact! Opposite! – ‘Divide & Conquer’ is their aim, and where better than the good old traditional pub! where many of us would put the world to rights, have a good laugh and meet our future partners, all over a few bevvies with a group of strangers and friends?

Press Play Above And Follow Along With The The words Below
“Socialist” sounds like fists in the air,
For social rights, for voices to share.
But being “social” is stamped as a crime,
By those who profit from wasting our time.
The Uni-Party whispers, “Keep them apart,
No chatter, no laughter, no meeting of heart”.
Divide and conquer, their favourite song,
A pint with your mates?
No, that feels wrong.
The pub, the club, the youth club too,
Places for bonding, all fading from view.
Nights out of joy, smoke curling the air,
A basket of chips, no burdens to bear.
But then came the Foodie craze on the screen,
Shiny cuisine where chatter’d once been.
Ads and shows pounding night and day,
Teaching us ‘gluttony’ pays the way.
An unhealthy crowd, more pills to sell,
Big Pharma grins—OH! – isn’t that swell?
.
And MP’s clutch their pharma shares,
As pubs transform to ‘foodie lairs’.
No talk with strangers, no hearty cheer,
Just menus bloated, conversations can’t hear.
Conglomerates feast, – landlords bleed,
Debt upon debt, – no end – no need.
The shutters fall, the pub is gone,
The property’s sold, the cycle goes on.
The Government smiles, the owners too,
But where does that leave me and you?
Joe Public drifts to the neon glow,
Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, that’s where to go.
Or huddled at home with a takeaway meal,
Addictive, convenient,
stripping the real.
They call it “social,”
but we know it’s not,
Connection erased,
community shot.
And somewhere above,
they toast with delight,
The Uni-Party’s plan
Is working just RIGHT!
