The manner by which he has put this thought across is by utilizing what is ordinarily known to be very English a regular case of where this kind of separation happens. The news, where you will primarily hear the news read from an individual who talks with the ‘right’ complement. â€Å"This is thi six a clock news thi man said n thi reason a tok wia BBC complement iz coz yi widny wahnt mi ti talk aboot thi trooth wia voice lik wanna yoo scruff†¦Ã¢â‚¬  The sonnet is a satire of an ordinary British news communicate, it is amusing the manner by which Leonard has utilized his own tongue and spoken in the style of the regularly known news.
