THATCHER’S LEGACY

What of our busy Mill Towns now?

What of our shipyards roaring?

What of our coalmines – turned to dust?

And no more steel mills soaring

Once thriving towns reduced to ruin

Once youth had hope and trade

Once village galas still allowed

Fulfilment in the doing

No more alas will British cars

Speed workmanlike and brave

For greed and gain and profit now

Have sank them in their graves
