Friendly Fire (poem)
text:
Friendly Fire is a satirical poem by James Michie, published in The Spectator magazine in 2004. Some readers failed to see the satire and believed Michie was calling for the "extermination" of Scottish people. As a result, the poem has been the subject of controversy, especially regarding Boris Johnson, who as editor of The Spectator at the time approved its publication.
