Common sense isn’t that common

COMMON sense: not so common, particularly amongst politicians. We elect them to serve our wishes, but they do not.

All the population wants a good NHS. We all love the NHS and everyone needs it at some time.

About three per cent of the population want the HS2 line with its estimated £40 billion cost, which you and I know will probably turn out to be £80 billion. The route will do more harm than good, so why not put this money into the NHS?

We can easily do without the HS2 line but we can’t possibly manage without the NHS. So every one of the MPs decide in favour of the three per cent against the majority. Let us use that majority to get this un-listening and incompetent government out of power.
