Dearest Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have just finished the biography of Siegfried Sassoon <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which you kindly gave to me during your last visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a fine book which I have left for Mummy to read <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the last couple of hours I have been in my beloved Canterbury <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather is sunny and the cathedral towers are almost gleaming <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been chatting\u00a0to some students in a pub\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And am shocked at how young and naive they are <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems that they are following the party line <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is how much they have been brainwashed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the malignant academics and other<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was not like this when we were both at Cambridge <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things have changed so very much in just a few years <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A decay has set in and not just in the UK <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes there were protests about this and that when we were at college<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But most people just went along for ride <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These were liberal mostly home based causes as you recall <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And not about wars being fought overseas which had little to with us <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current protests are in my view incredibly racist and obscene <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And many many stupid people have been whipped up into a frenzy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As normal you see actors and other celebrities virtue signalling <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just because it is the chic thing to do <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not just actors or others in the spotlight who are guilty of this <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The press and the mainstream news channels are feeding us all false news <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is so fucking obvious that it screams at you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the government and the opposition are just so fucking weak <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That they just bend over and take it up the arse from the faggots on the left and other pieces of shit\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will not go on as my thoughts are jumbled such is my anger <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are piecemeal comments written\u00a0out of my frustration\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enough said <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy thoughts for Joe and Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you remember Clare College Cambridge <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We met some good friends there <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have lost count of the days we spent with them by the Cam <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blue Remembered Hills <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sassoon was a Clare Man <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading Law <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He left Cambridge without taking a degree <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rambling Joe again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not totally clear of the lurg <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But hungry oh so hungry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For things to change <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not have your patience sis <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I had my way I would lock them all up <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And throw away the key <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that they might rot slowly as they slide into their feral madness <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you are aware I have lost some friends and acquaintances<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of my views which they cannot or choose not to understand<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were they friends I ask <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends even if they disagree should remain friends <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It distresses me as I believe that friends should be loyal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not far from Charing X and therefore not far from you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it is fine shall we dine by the river tonight <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That would be great fun and it will help me to distance myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From all the malignant people who so upset me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confessional Poem Over <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this was ever a confessional poem at all <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just needed to chat Josie as I recharge my batteries <\/p>\n\n\n\n
