Haiku for 2025 [No. 26. Palestine Inaction]
LOVE’S A DOING WORD!
VERBS WITHOUT ACTION? ABSURD!
SO, IMPRISON ME!

Thanks for your comment and the info, John.
No, my intention was to play with the grammatical definition of a verb, and that of a noun.
The UK government, whilst protesting its "love" [the noun] of freedom, and of democracy, plainly demonstrates through its suppression of dissent in the UK, enacted on behalf of a foreign fascist regime, that it in reality, does not "love" [the verb] freedom.
I like the way "love's a doing word" is a quote from Massive Attack, who recently founded a body with Fontaines D. C. and with Kneecap and someone else too to protect the artist's right to speak out against war atrocities in the middle east... is this what you were getting at or is it by chance? 😎

Oh the irony; Cooper, a woman politician who had the temerity to parade around UK Parliament having her photo taken whilst wearing the colours of the Suffragette movement which commemorates the sacrifices of women who suffered imprisonment, physical abuse and forced feeding, has turned people who, on the streets of Britain, are defending the rights of starved and murdered women and children in Palestine into terrorists and criminals.
So be it, lock me up!
