1896 and all that

(to be sung to the tune of the Communist anthem)

Tom Fraser’s flag is deepest red,

On Motorways he walks ahead.

if we exceed three score and ten we’ll likely end up

in the pen.

Though Motorways were made to speed,

The flow of traffic, not impede,

Tom Fraser says “No ruddy fear,

keep the red flag flying HERE!
