THERESA MIGHT, THERESA MAY

Here's a repeat of my June 2012 poem Theresa Might, Theresa May...... with an updated ending.......

Details of internet use in the UK will have to be stored for a year to allow police and intelligence services to access it, under government plans. Records will include people's activity on social network sites, webmail, internet phone calls and online gaming.  Home Secretary Theresa May said the change was needed to keep up with how criminals were using new technology.

2012

Theresa Might, Theresa May,

any moment, any day,

will have the snooping powers to

see what we all say and view.

Theresa May, Theresa Might,

have her own satellite

to hear who we are talking too,

to spy on things we like to do.

Theresa Might, Theresa May,

privacy has had its day,

freedom's gained a ball and chain,

in authority's clamping down campaign.

Theresa May, Theresa Might,

talking sense or talking shite,

how'd she handle protest hits

from fifty million texting Brits?

Theresa Might, Theresa May,

says change is needed to block the way

of each criminal gang and terrorist cell -

sledgehammer/nut, who can tell?

2016

Theresa May, Theresa Might,

has beaten opponents left and right,

no longer if, perhaps or when,

her new address is number ten.

Theresa Might, Theresa May,

will grab the baton Wednesday

Will she be straight or she be sinister,

success or failure as Prime Minister?
