First they came for the pricks, but I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a prick.
Then they came for the knobs, but I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a knob.
Then they came for the tits, but I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a tit.
Then they came for the arseholes, but I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t an arsehole.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out (apart from the politicians who somehow managed to get through the above net).
