[A1X]

Will piss off all the right people. Marvellous.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Some erstwhile winners

 

[Eeyore]

If anyone wants to have a whinge and swipe, ask yourself why you didn't complain when Trump was awarded this. Although it is a pretty meaningless crown.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Greta Thunberg.

Dam..you must be gutted at missing out again

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Greta Thunberg.

Big surprise there then

 

[Pavilionaire]

No brainer. The only one that comes close is Bruno.

 

[carlzeiss]

Good for her

 

[Is it PotG?]

Gotta be in it to win it

I get the impression you've completely missed the point of Person of the Year.

Not me, they are previous winners.

 

[Stat Brother]

Not me, they are previous winners.

Yes we know.

They are previous winners because it isn't Time Magazine Greatest/Bestest/Badest/Worstest Person of the Year.

It's Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

Well done.

So that's the award.

What is the criteria?

What is the criteria?

I'm not entirely sure but I think the criteria is being The Person of the Year.

Brilliant.

So why not Ben Stokes?

There are many 'persons' on the planet.

When you think back on 2019 you can have Mr Stokes as your Person of the Year.
You don't have to accept Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

In much the same way they don't have to accept someone they've never heard of as theirs.

So why not Ben Stokes?

Because he wasn't their person of the year.

Riiight.

So you don't know the criteria then?

Surely Greta should have won child of the year, and left an adult to win the person of the year.

Given previous winners such as Hitler Stalin and Trump maybe someone like Farage or Johnson would be more worthy winners.
