Just heard on BBC News that the population of Britain will increase by ‘8 million’ by 2030. (Did I hear that correctly?) Yet serious droughts are predicted as the century goes on. Can we sustain all this new housing/new people/new demands for water? @CPREBerkshire @CPRESurrey

Let me add the caveat that alliterative verse isn't automatically antique! Check out my poem, "The Song of David and Abishag" in @TheBrazenHead1, for instance! brazen-head.org/2025/02/26/the…
