YOUNG CONSERVATIVES
Silver spoon and bottle fed
The Daily Mail is always read
By Young Conservatives born to win
Another world you`re living in
Just like your parents and theirs before
You and your children won`t go to war
The front line ain`t the place for you
You still believe your blood is blue
The British Empire sons and daughters
Who flirt with UKIP`s rich supporters
Share nightmares about Tony Blair us Corbynistas on News at Ten
Who want a world where men are men
Money talks and women listen
And missionary is their favourite position
You`re born to rule or so you say
Church of England all the way
The book that features Adam and Eve
These are the things that you believe
Young Conservatives dressed to thrill
In army clothes they shoot to kill
Love and respect for King and Queen
National Service at Seventeen
Mary Whitehouse morals too
A Barbara Cartland novel view
These are the things that you support
The working class they must be taught
How lucky they are to be free
To live in your democracy
With no free press or radio
Thousands homeless and millions on the dole
Just like the days before the war
The Tory party still stands for
Mass unemployment and poverty
A `them and us` society
With no tower block kids to tell the truth
Only the voice of Tory youth
The House of Lords, the den of vice
Vermin in ermine ain`t very nice
The wealth the power the land they hold
The red the white the Tory blue
The young Conservatives I hate you

THE COCKNEY BARD - (Extracts)
PUBLICITY BLITZ:
The Cockney Bard
Introduction:
When I was asked to put this compilation together, I hesitated. Some of the poems/lyrics are from decades ago and obviously the work of an angry young man obsessed with injustice.
But poetic anthems like `National Service` and `Young Conservatives` have not dated.
The new poems include subjects ranging from `Working Class Pride` to love, romance and pop culture.
...
An audio track by Garry Johnson, the heavily Cockneyed `Young Conservatives` which opened the night, could easily have been written the day after the General Election,
June 2015. The Morning Star Poetry Festival at The British Library.
Roxanne Escoboles
...
FOREWORD
Garry Johnson and the Beat Of The Street
Britain is burning. The summer has seen riots break out across the country`s inner-cities.
There were many cultural voices that chartered the of this time. Punk, Reggae and Two-tone each, in there different but overlapping ways, provided means of social commentary.
The Specials, The Jam and Killing Joke captured the moods and the anxieties that simmered in the concrete jungle.
Among the most astute was Garry Johnson, whose poems provided first-hand accounts from London`s dead-end streets.
He told the truth about power. The false patriotism of self-serving elites was exposed in a Tory Party that stood "for mass unemployment and poverty, a them and us society".
Garry Johnson embodied the Punk spirit. Instinctively suspicious of authority in any form.
He always presented urban protest by saying "The white working class has got more in common with the black working class than they have with the rich white middle class"
Garry was all about working class kids having a laugh and having a say.
As it was, Garry - more even than many of the bands he supported or wrote about - personified one of Joe Strummer`s better insights: "The truth is only known by guttersnipes".
Garry Johnson`s poems were truly the beat of the street. At a time when words mattered, Garry`s snapshots of inner-city Britain now stand with the lyrics of Paul Weller as an essential record of the 1980s.
Professor Matthew Worley

...
"I first clocked Garry Johnson`s poems on Punk albums. He`s as direct and truculent as the music on them.
Upbeat, confrontational and jab, jab, jab.
As Joe Hill said: `There`s power in a union, and there`s power in Garry`s poetry, better yet he knows where to plant the punches".

F*** The Fascist Courts (And I Did)
The Fascist court at Chelmsford Essex illegally ruled:
1. No Publicity relating to my case.
2. Banned the book `Till Death Us Do Part`
3. Banned the adult movie `Saturday Night Specials`
4. Banned me from naming self-confessed child abuser Richard Grimson in public.
5. Banned me from revealing in public that Julie Johnson `starred` in pornographic films.
6. Banned me from writing my autobiography.
THE PUNK POET and seeker of Truth and Justice said "Bollocks you fascist bastards" and took on the corrupt legal system because he believed in Freedom of Speech.
In August 2013 at Chelmsford Court - Case Number CM14P00300 - Judge Newton revoked the `Gagging Order` on both `Till Death Us Do Part` and `Saturday Night Specials`.
He agreed with my 100 per cent factual argument - though to be honest he had no choice - that me writing my autobiography and not mentioning my book `Till Death Us Do Part` or porn movies like `Saturday Night Specials`, `Basildon Babe` or `Essex Escort` all starring Julie ... which I wrote, directed and filmed would be like Sir Geoff Hurst telling his life story without mentioning his World Cup hat-trick.
So I published my autobiography PUNK ROCK STORIES AND TABLOID TALES and album of the same name which included the classic track `Newton Brown` and autobiographical `Fathers Day`.
And in a few weeks a film trailer will be all over the Internet including YouTube and Facebook.
So much for `no publicity` lol.

The Film Trailer To Go Online (Official X-rated)
At long last my film will be online and all over the Internet from October.
I`m not the on-screen `star` but the script is down to me and it`s my voice you hear.
The trailer will only feature a glimpse of me ... I`m mostly behind the camera ... but will prove the film could not have been made without me.
My other film ... the story of my life based on my book Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales is still in the early stages.
But the October film will be great publicity for everything from The Cockney Bard to The Punk Poet to Till Death Us Do Part to Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales.

Blackpool Off Due To Health Scare
More lives then a cat lol.
Blackpool Rebellion is off as on Wednesday night I was rushed by ambulance to Basildon Hospital with chest pains brought on by losing blood.
It took just over 5 hours to stop the bleeding.
This is very dangerous as my medication was stopping the blood from clotting.
I felt very weak, light-headed and sick.
At the second attempt the Doctor got the sulphar to gel.
It was sort of burned into my tongue and my mouth smelt/tasted like a bar-b-q.
I`m fine now but can`t talk ... and as I cant do mime ... I wont be able to perform at Blackpool.
Pretty p****d off - it was going to be a laugh - hopefully I`ll get my hotel deposit back ... but my £600 fee is "lost".
Back to Basildon Hospital on Sunday and if the sulphar aint worked I gotta go to Broomfield in Chelmsford and have it stitched.
But the GOOD NEWS is I cant eat for 5 days ... McDonald milkshakes and nothing else ... so at long last I`ll be able to lose the weight gained by my medication.
As always "Glass half full rather then half empty".
Fingers-crossed I`ll be fine for the London Shows at the end of August.
