Minimus– A poetic pig who writes the second national anthem of Animal Farm after the singing of "Beasts of England" is banned; later he composes a poem "Comrade Napoleon". Literary theorist John Rodden compares him to the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, [19] who eulogized Lenin and the Soviet Union, although Mayakovsky neither wrote anthems nor praised Stalin in his poems.

There are laugh out loud moments, and then there’s the serious part.This book is classic Clarkson filled with all his wit and humor, but this time about his new, and serious, job. During Covid, Jeremy tries his hand at farming on his land that he has owned for quite a few years after his farm manager retires.

I think the choice of pigs as the ruling caste will no doubt give offence to many people, and particularly to anyone who is a bit touchy, as undoubtedly the Russians are. Clarkson raises a number of issues with farming in the UK that the general public wouldn’t know about, which seem to be quite a bit different to in Australia as the government seems to have more control over what is grown. I enjoyed comparing what I know of Aussie farming with Clarkson’s experience in the UK (I still can’t get over that each field has a name). The columns are humorous, easy to understand and give an insight into different aspects of farming (right down to the farm shop). It’s clear that even for all its frustrations, Clarkson enjoys farming and it really shows through his writing. There’s a sense of pride and love in sharing his farming life. From a career as a local journalist in the north of England, he rose to public prominence as a presenter of the original format of Top Gear in 1988.

As well as motoring, Clarkson has produced programmes and books on subjects such as history and engineering. From 1998 to 2000 he also hosted his own chat show, Clarkson.

One of the receptionists told her, “just junkies and hookers; don’t waste our time.” This was the attitude, in spite of the fact that no less than 13 women had gone missing from the exact same area during the previous year?...Clearly missing women working as prostitutes, most with drug problems didn’t count as proper people in the eyes of the law.

Most of the victims fall into a depressingly familiar pattern, abusive homes, neglectful parents, adoption, early death of one or more parent, foster homes, falling in with a bad boyfriend who introduces them to hard drugs and pimps them out. Cameron humanises the women, making them more than just murdered, junkie prostitutes. She makes an effort to show that they were more than that, showing us that they were someone’s mother, daughter or sister and more than just the problems that they had gotten into or found themselves in.
