Poet Laureate

The new Poet Laureate is a Glaswegian lesbian with a daughter by a man she has never lived with. Tony Blair apparently found her too politically risky to get the job 10 years ago.

I have nothing against a colourful private life for a poet (I think we know more than enough about Ted Hughes) but Glaswegian?

Well, nobody reads the poems anyway.
