My Christmas Irritant List

Quentin Letts, writing in the Christmas Spectator compiles a page-full of his current irritants.  Whilst I do not disagree with any of his selections, particularly Tim Farron, I do think that he may have overlooked the following:

Anna Soubry

Lewis Hamilton

The entire C4 News Team

Jeremy Clarkson

Will Self

Nicky Morgan

Arsene Wenger

Sting

Classic FM

Krishnan Guru-Murthy (notwithstanding his colleagues mentioned above - he is in a league of his own).

Whilst Quentin Letts compiles his list in no order I feel it would be unfair on the others if I were not to award my special prize for irritation to the preposterously awful Anna Soubry.

Happy Christmas!

Brexit Negotiations

Michel Barnier has been appointed to the post of chief Brexit negotiator.  European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he "wanted an experienced politician for this difficult job.”  Quite so.

As an experienced European Politician, Jim Hacker would have observed that, “he has the organising ability of the Italians, the flexibility of the Germans, and the modesty of the French topped off with the imagination of the Belgians, the generosity of the Dutch and the intelligence of the Irish.”

So good luck to the British team!
