the guy was in his 30's and a right scumbag ..a complete drain of society as his life consists of stealing... to fund a heroin addiction and spending a lot of his time in custody. the poem he was so proud of one of the most disgusting things i've ever heard.
the programme went on to say that he used to pimp his girlfirlend out to strangers -no donbt another measure to fund their habits.what a lowlife.

I only caught the last bit where that so-called 'poet' was mouthing off. I hated it. I cringed. I don't think it should have been shown.

Poetry should be beautiful, or moving, or dramatic or contemplative - not downright offensive, abusive and with the most awful words, contempt and hatred.

I found this very disturbing, the 'poem' was so disgusting and crude, there were swear words that should never, never be said in real life, yet alone on TV
