David Herbert Lawrence is one of the great writers of our time. His major works are considered to be among the finest literary works of the modern age, which when you consider his beginnings in working class obscurity during Britain’s late industrial age, and the relative fleetingness of his life – he died aged just...

Here is the birth chart of British austerity, as announced by David Cameron in Cheltenham in April 2009. The chart contains several outstanding markers for difficulty.
