Who is Kidding Who? Copyright © Reg Wright

Wen Jiabao comes to town
One point four billion
Weighing him down
Cameron smiles and says hello
So pleased you're here
Now let’s see the dough.

Don’t mind that pleb outside the door
I’ve heard his protest
Many times before.
Of course Gaddafi
We will bring down
And human right’s
Once more restore.

But then China
Is a different case
Where dissidents
Are kept in their place
And human freedoms are very few
But we can overlook that too
As in the name of commerce
This contract we renew
And sign here to day
That pleb outside can go away.

Oh Mr Cameron
It pleases me to hear you say
That pleb outside will go away
In China he would not get near the door
But would disappear and be seen no more.

So Mr Cameron you have shown
That money talks when the chips are down
And commerce and profit are the key
To skirt around Democracy.
