The Vision Thing

So Sadiq Khan has got this great idea
which cuts pollution. Tories mobilise
the fears of motorists. That worries Keir.
His minders say commitments are unwise.

I wonder how this worked in days gone by…
Post war, we’re broke, and nobody can guess
what happens next. A vision comes to Nye,
a comprehensive network: NHS!
Cradle to grave, and no-one has to pay.
It’s massive, but a risky kind of bet
and Clem has doubts. “What will the Tories say?
“I like your thinking, Nye, but no. Not yet.”

A golden chance. It makes me want to scream
until I realise – that bit was a dream.
