I smelled a headline in The Daily Mail ...



I sat with two Northerners in The Spire -  

I'd ordered leek and potato soup - 

Worn gaffers parked their mobility scooters outside - 

Young beggars sat cross legged in Falklands Square - 

I've just been to the hospital said the man - it's my lungs, but I've never smoked

He's always going to the surgery his wife said - 

They lived in social housing in the edgelands - 

Why are they giving money to them out there the wife said - we need it here - 

Spend money on nurses not bombs I said - 

smelled a headline in The Daily Mail -
