News at Eleven: They tell him, "Benjamin, when you have a mortgage

and children, you'll know what it feels like." But of course he [Benjamin Zephaniah] never will have a mortgage and children, he never will mellow. "Because I've got to tell you really honestly, if you look at a lot of my work in the early days, there was stuff I was really angry about, and deep down I still am angry about it. OK, I'm not getting arrested by police in the way that I used to, but there's lots of things in the world that I'm still angry about. I just think: why can't people see the bigger picture and not just think about themselves?"
