| Sir Anthony Charles Lynton Blair KG |
It’s a crowded field this year, as it is every year, but more than any previous year, 2022 seems to be the Year of the Dork - as will 2023 of course. Many thanks to everyone who left suggestions - they all demonstrate what a ridiculously packed field it is.
Inevitably, the DotY Committee has had a difficult time of it, but still managed to reach a conclusion with only a few biscuits hurled across the room and no fisticuffs. One very attractive suggestion was a contest between Dork Duos such as
Meghan and Harry
Shearer and Wright
Biden and Corbyn
Fauci and Whitty
Truss and Kwarteng
The Gary duo – Lineker and Neville.
A suggestion which will be followed up. In the end, the DotY Committee was swayed by a timely, if unpleasant reminder of Tony Blair in his KG garb. It turned out to be a powerful visual argument.
For all his pretensions to be a charismatic schemer, it is easy to lose sight of Blair the Dork. He even managed to choose the wrong political party, the one with Brown in it.
The hat, the Committee decided, says it all.

Anyone still thinking our Honours system is 'fit for purpose' will surely be disgusted that it's incorporated this warmongering piece of shit.
The hat does make him look like a camp old dear. You would scarcely believe he was a war criminal and a serial liar.
Ed - I'm mildly surprised that the whole thing hasn't collapsed under a heap of ridicule by now, but still it continues.
Sam - maybe camp old dear was the point, merely an opportunity to appear harmlessly silly.
