Michael Rosen, acclaimed children’s author and recent Children’s Laureate has finally completed the long awaited follow up to We’re Going On A Bear Hunt. In his new politically barbed story We’re Going On A Witch Hunt, the same intrepid family travel through grass, through rivers, mud, forests and snow, finally arriving at Downing Street, where they hunt down and identify Tory cronies directly responsible for the UK’s disastrous management of the Covid crisis.
The writer had been in intensive care for weeks in a North London hospital with coronavirus, until an overworked doctor accidentally left a pen lying on Rosen’s bed. “It was only a standard biro, blue I think, but Mr Rosen found some old NHS paper, responded immediately and set to with great gusto. 7 hours later, the task was complete and we all celebrated like loons. ‘One dirty brown nose, two big goggly eyes, stupid hair. Oh no, it’s a Boris’ - you know the score…..”
Mr Rosen, a staunch Labour supporter, wanted to send out a message to Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings and his lackeys, that “we’re still here, we know what went on, we know the mistakes you made, we know what you’re up to.”
A proposed statue of Michael Rosen in his home town of Pinner, Middlesex, is likely to feature Boris in a headlock being kicked up the backside by each Witch Hunt family member.
