Yes, indeed, both are great poets.
The philistines here who feel compelled to give their ‘opinion’ on these guys works are, I suspect, irritated that Mr. Bilston wrote a poem about hating the Daily Mail and one about seeing immigration as a complex, multi sided issue.
In my experience, these contributors tend to prefer shouty, intolerant, belligerent views, generally expressed in short, staccato sentences, with simple answers to complex problems.
Hopefully, 2026 will be the turning point where a little humanity enters the mix.
So far, it’s not looking great, but it’s early days yet!
Come on ‘26, you can do it!
