>prestigious poet laureate-style role created in May 2005

There's just really nothing to the story.

I got really drunk once and applied to be the npoet laureate of antarctica
obviously it was under "other" in the application form

I'm having trouble making sense of this headline. Did a zoomer or an ESL write it?

also him if you want to debate

God, this is horrible.

Simon Armitage is a legitimately interesting modern poet and it's cool that he's laureate for England.

I noticed a lot of BBC news headlines make zero sense.
>Couple's brother's babysitter concerns growing over lost sibling during their homestay in father's location.
Shit like this is the norm.

AI maybe? They're correct sentences and not hard to understand but very wooden

Are you looking at link headlines or the actual headline on the article page?
OPs screenshot shows a link where it looks like only 2 lines of text are allowed and they've tried to condense the entire headline into minimal words while still telling a complete story
I imagine the actual headline if you viewed the article would be less constrained

Jason Arday (rip sweet prince)

Yep
It probably pains the writers as much to come up with these shortened headlines as it does for you to read them
