English post-progressive musician Paul Draper takes a swipe at the blatant imcompetence of Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Internationalle, a track from his satirical concept album about self-help books, Cult Leader Tactics. Amidst a wealth of guitars and synths he does not hold back lyrically: "The Internationalle Britannia rules the waves // Mr Johnson you naughty boy // And Trump has had his day // Thank God we’re out alive // But only for today // So with the Internationalle Britannia rules the waves".
