And we leave you with a poem by The Bard of Barnsley himself, Ian McMillan, a topical update to that Christian classic ‘The Lord’s Prayer’…

Our country
Which art in turmoil
Austerity be thy name
Thy libraries shut
Thy welfare cut
In Goole
As it is in Devon
Give us this day
Our daily dread
And forgive us our anger
As we forgive those
Who are angry and weeping.
All in this together?
Oh, man.
