I think this is a contender for the worst opinion column I’ve read this year - completely pointless, irrelevant and come on Matt couldn’t you think of anything a bit more interesting that happened this week?

    I found it smug and irritating. The humorous columnists usually manage much better than this on something more substantial.

    I did read the source for the column on holiday though and that’s a bit better https://tinyurl.com/22jpnfw5

      I agree, that source is better to read as straight observation.

      But your Times guy is just having a gentle laugh at the whole thing. I don’t like the Times and I don’t read newspapers and I certainly wouldn’t give any of them a subscription, but this isn’t anything to get angry about.
