So, the political parties managed to agree on a charter for press regulation, but the newspaper companies are not playing.
Arise, ye editors and journalists!
Arise and let the shackles of oppression
Fall down in pieces from your honest wrists!
And fight the power with fury and aggression!
Your human rights are being taken from you!
They want you to do something you don’t like!
In times like this the onus is upon you
To teach us all a lesson: go on strike!
Your right to hound celebrities is sacred
To twist the truth to match your readers views,
Take secret pics of women when they’re naked:
It’s not invaded privacy, it’s news!
So take a stand. Refuse to carry on!
I doubt we’ll really miss you when you’re gone.
