Phuck The Scum State Wankers Club I'm Voting Horse Outside

23-01-2011 00:42

WANKERS CLUB
In our pup tent we can suck down home brews
And remember money broker Cowen--

That sent us to the street in our home town

Later on we inquire
How our dream so backfired
We followed the rules
We're feelin' like fools
Living in a wanker wonderland

Tunisian Uprising Wins Concessions From US-Backed Elite

14-01-2011 17:15

US-backed Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali is making concession after concession to a spontaneously created protest movement, in a desperate attempt to cling onto power in the North African country.
