The audience groaned at the mention of their names ...




Outside Specsavers, a man begged for small coins - 

He held a tin whistle to his lips - 

I heard a few notes of the piteous music -

Saturday shoppers drank Americanos in Costas

Three withered oldsters handed out Brexit leaflets - 

I was on my way to a public meeting - 

Shaun told us of the plans to close the A&E and Maternity Departments at the hospital - 

I remembered the calm professionals who had saved my life - 

The Conservative MPs had declined the invitation to attend the meeting - 

The audience groaned at the mention of their names - Drax, Syms, Ellwood, Tomlinson -
