I have been a keen follower of The Mersey Poets ; Roger Mcgough,Brian Patten and perhaps my favourite Adrian Henri who sadly died a few years ago. Duffy was in a relationship with Henri and was the subject of some of his poems.
I would like to have seen Roger McGough as the new Poet Laureate and I believe Duffy got the "job" because she ticked all the New Lab boxes i.e. female, bisexual, Scottish etc.
Remember it is the Government who recommend the selection.
