The bit about Thatcher closing the pits and selling off the nation's oil and gas reserves to the highest bidder must have been cut for space reasons.

Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean?

Last line is especially ominous

I lost interest in the man many years ago. I'm not one of those who can separate an artist's music from their personality πŸ˜‰

M is for maybe this starts with an m
N is for next letter, and that one's an n
E is for easy, like spelling this word
M is for magpie, the stealingest bird
O is for only three more letters to go
N is for nearly there, you mnemonic pro
I is for imminent, this poem's end
C is for congratulations, my spellingwell friend

Mind you, if the AMOC shuts down and plunges Europe into a new ice age, it might be on its travels again before too long.
