Richard Hoggart wouldn't be an academic today in the University system we have now his work wouldn't have been good enough the middle class mediocrity of today unnecessarily complicates & obscures the writing process so they aren't found out. Who is the imposter?

This is 'Young' by Daisy Howarth one of her pieces of art inspired by the Bestwood Village Storytelling event in January. Old Coal Miners talked about the pit ponies, the canaries & how they liked to sing. Those miners had dementia but remembered these things. Sadly passed on.
