               Epigram XXIII

               Margaret Thatcher turned England into

               Capital over a defenceless population.

               She was speaking through Milton Friedmanʼs

               The City, as its Shylock. Did anyone remember

               The words of Shakespeare, our Edward de

               Set in the silver seaʼ! Brexit is another episode

               Of that shameful attack against the people.

               Brexit means deregulation, the Free Market.

               What they have learned about Karl Polanyiʼs The Great
