Fruitcakes

They're all just an old brand of fungus,
Their smell-by date long in the past:
Currant-buns, crazies, and prejudice-mongers,
Big-mouthed and big-headed, big-arsed.

Their feet are rammed right down their gullets,
Their lipsticks as rancid as butter:
Shaggy as old men with badly-cut mullets,
And the natter-jack skills of a nutter.

Their brains are the size of a pippin,
Curdlers who should be in purdah,
Burke and Hare, Cream, Borden and Crippen
Couldn't get away quick with such murder.

They strangle the language like turkeys;
They scream like a tribe of baboons;
They chatter like chimps, or like Pinkys and Perkys;
The duffers, the puffballs, the loons.

They're dreck. They are sexless and feckless.
Pondlife deserves better notice.
In political terms, they are rats, running reckless:
And that's just the ones who are voters.

Fruitcakes
Conservative leader David Cameron called UKIP “a bunch of fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists”. Silvio Berlusconi called Italian leftists "coglioni", or testicles - i.e. idiots.
