Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

As well as having an interest in politics and current affairs I also help to run Saltburn Folk Club - mainly by keeping it on the straight and narrow by managing the finances. I also occasionally help out on an unpaid basis in my daughter’s bookshop (although I do get some free books.)

Please Bear in Mind   that the Department of Visas & Immigration claims he has ideas above his station, having arrived into this great nation without the proper documentation.   But here’s what they fail to understand: this is not the life he had planned; he could no longer stay in his homeland; he’s only looking for a helping hand.   His wellies are red, his duffle coat blue. He wears a wide-brimmed hat from Darkest Peru. If you should see him, here’s what to do: Please look after him. That’s all. Thank you. Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘Please Bear in Mind’.
