Once again, the Calder Valley gets it. How long will it be before they get adequate flood defences? It’s not fair – it’s not as if the people of Hebden Bridge are known for being petrolheads, or the people of Mytholmroyd burn vast amounts of coal.
God of love,
have mercy on the people
who have been hurt
by the wind, the rain:
homes, livelihoods, ruined,
families broken,
sudden fear,
and the weary repetition of misery.
God save all children of earth.
