A Song for Danny Alexander

Did you ever see Danny Alexander defending the sick and disabled against ESA? Did you see how he knew the details, was aware how many decisions were incorrect? He's never mentioned it again since he became a minister. The link to him opposing ESA is here (just the first minute).

When you've seen it, perhaps you'd like to click on the next link and read the lyrics below it at the same time? My Ode to Danny, "Oh Danny boy, the jags, the jags are calling....."

Oh Danny Boy!

The jags and jags are calling.

From No.10 and from the Treasury.

The passion’s gone and ESA forgotten.

T’was you t'was you, but now you’ve turned away.

So come ye back! Remember how we need you

Disabled, sick and vulnerable in need.

We’re all still here, forgotten in the shadows.

Oh Danny Boy! Oh Danny Boy, we need you so.

And if one day, you think again of ESA

And I am dead, as dead I may well be

Will you recall, the times you said you’d help us?

Or hide away? Pretend you cannot see?

We have no friends, no politicians caring

No-one to save our fragile dignity.

Will you come back and fight for what your heart knows?

Your time has come to be the man you ought to be.
