A Letter from Boris, by Georgia Kelly

(This poem is called "A National Home", by Boris Johnson and me.  I tried to use blackout-style poetry for this in order to spread a more positive message than the one Boris Johnson sent out to 30 million homes. I also wanted to try and recreate the way in which the government used to censor soldiers' letters in other national crises , such as the First World War. Now we can all censor a letter from the government.
