John - Well that's great news isn't it?
Yoko - There's no rhyme or reason for such gnomic comment, what are you on about?
John - The return of the classic dole-card band from the 70's or 80's, I forget which.*
Yoko - Oh yes, I used to have one of them, a UB40, the government document.
John - Indeed**, here they are - or at least one of the two bands claiming to be UB40 - back hard on the heels of their bringing down Thatcher success.
Yoko - Wasn't that The Beat that got Margaret to stand down?
John - Apologies, my mistake, to be fair I had been dead a couple of years by the time it was released.
Yoko - Hopefully since JC unveiled UB40 as the voice of someone's youth then all new Labour policies will at least rhyme even if the reason is somewhat lacking.
John - Yeah, we'd all love to see the plan.***
Yoko - Shall we start over?
John Lennon. (Just Like) Starting Over - 1980
* The 70's or 80's, not the band.
** Yoko did an album about her dole years.
