Why do you think it’ll be London?
I mean I’ll still go through all of them but I suppose it’s not come up on the spec papers or last year/nov series papers

There’s this YouTube channel and the guy is called mrbruff and last year he predicted the poem the day before so keep checking his page! And idk last year my teachers predicted what was to come up on the paper and the year before and they got it all right - this year they are saying it’ll be london so I’m gonna analysis it carefully

No way did he say that wtfff! I need him to predict this years😩😩😩 I would compare London to checking out mr history with the power of humans and inequality... or with exposure through the concept of loss and absence

ooh that’s cool, is it the front of the cgp textbook? It’s got quite a good comparison grid (which is also on the conflict poetry guide on here if you’ve not got it)
