‘Everyone deserves quality…’*
Holly Magill
The incumbent Conservative will cut
the shiny red ribbon, celebrate
130 jobs created – including artisan bakers,
sushi chefs, specialist prosecco pourers.
(The paper doesn’t mention the cleaners.)
There’s free wifi and 285 parking spaces;
a wine bar featuring a microbrewery draft pump
– only the second of their UK stores to have that.
Come on in, feel posh – look, you can
vote for their next charity of the month
with a plastic token, not have to give
a penny or a fuck.
