I really can’t help it! When I started writing CLIMERICKS, I thought that would be enough, but we are seeing such malign things happening in the corporate and political worlds, I just cannot but try to express my indignation and often outright anger at daily news. Yesterday’s news provoked this …

The first PLIMERICK, that is a Limerick with a decidedly people-focused slant.

ZUCKERBERG, how do you dare,

Reduce your duty of care

To those who don’t doubt,

Harmful trash YOU put out?

The toll of their DEATHS - YOU MUST BEAR?

It is surely obscene that such a massively profitable outfit so demonstrably puts profits before people. IT IS SHAMEFUL! Could it be that this withdrawal of due diligence is about cosying up to someone more powerful? Each of us will have our opinion.

And, perhaps people,who still have decency as a watchword, will gather round this and send a powerful message to a guy who has simply far too much wealth for his own good and thinks he can ride roughshod over vulnerable subscribers to his platform.
