I'll have to check out Paul Birtill. As for Brandreth, maybe he thinks he's a man of the people just because the people have got no choice but to listen to him.

Apparently we should all forget spelling now in the name of language simplification/accessibility.<BR/><BR/>Methinks the fellow has gone soft in the head, but perhaps I'd better not say that if want to submit a poem and indeed ought to re-fashion said piece to suit Mr Brandreth's new spelling preferences.<BR/><BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Like Kaz, I enjoyed your Liverpool Poets poem. Your style reminds me of one of my favourite contemporary poets - Paul Birtill - who does black and bitter humour like few others and is of a cynical curmudgeonly-ness that makes people question if he's really serious.
