In the middle of conference season the usual promises of jam tomorrow are being leaked to the press. The Tories led with HS2 and the appalling mess that the project is developing into daily.
HS2
Not as long as planned again,
the expensive toy put away,
but who working a northern campaign,
wants to go to London anyway.
Even twenty minutes quicker,
for us just an historical holiday,
no work or business bother,
to force us in a southerly way.
So what of the unspent money,
how will we benefit now?
or is it for the Tory party,
to feed their greedy cash cow.

Stand up and fight frequently,
said again and again,
stand up and fight repeatedly,
supposedly a rallying cry,
stand up and fight will cause others
to stand up and fight.
Penny forgot what we’re stand up and fighting for,
but repeated it until her throat was sore.
