As you may know, previous winners of the Dork of the Year (DotY) award have been -
2021 Jacinda Ardern
2020 Prince Harry
2019 Jo Swinson
2018 The British Electorate
2017 Michael Heseltine
2016 Mark Carney
2015 Ed Miliband
2015 Naomi Klein
All worthy winners, but what about 2022? As Mrs H said recently, the world becomes sillier week by week. The silliness comes from an uncountable number of Qualifying Dorks so an annual award becomes ever more difficult, even though Joe Biden currently appears to have an unassailable lead.
However, we do have a preliminary list of Qualifying Dorks, culled from the hordes of usual suspects. As in previous years, it may be expanded as suggestions arise.
Joe Biden
Jill Biden
Hunter Biden
Sir Keir Starmer
Gordon Brown
Prince Harry
Matt Hancock
David Attenborough
Angela Rayner
Angela Rayner
Marlene Headley
Jane Fonda
King Charles
Prince William
Prince William
Gary Lineker
Eddie Izzard

So many to choose from! What is a sensible person to do?
Thinking about it, despite these excellent candidates, for sheer long term damage to the nation, it has to be Tony Blair.
Evil personified, Fauci, should be on the list.
I'll nominate Klaus Schwab.
I'd like to remind readers that, as her resignation came in 2022, this might be the last chance to give Cressida Dick the recognition she so patently deserves.
Paul Pelosi has also had an interesting year.
I think Boris deserves a place too.
And this year's list would not be complete without Truss and Kwarteng.
Any chance of adding the "charity" founder at the palace?
Tammly has it, it should always be Blair (or one of the Clintons).
How about a Dork Duo? You could have a contest between royal(ish) dorks, MeMeMegaham & Harry, versus football commentary clots, Shearer and Wright, versus drooling idiot dolts, Biden and Corbyn, versus fake scientist scoundrels Faucist and Whitty, versus ...
All - all suggestions noted and on the list.
Anon - I don't know who you mean by the "charity" founder at the palace.
Starting with the definition of a dork:-
A stupid, slow-witted, foolish or inept person.
A penis.
For me this narrows it down to Sir Kier (Max Headroom) Starmer, Joe Brandon and Gordo, the tongue wrestler.
Gordo peaked years ago and his dorkiness is fading now.
So on present evidence it has to be Joe Brandon, the elderly Frank Spenser of US politics. Oooh Jill, I think I just did a whoopsie.
Thank goodness Lineker's name's on the list, and if 'duoed', add Gary Neville as well!
Doonhamer - yes, if we focus on dorks as opposed to horrible people then Joe seems to be miles ahead.
Scrobs - I've added Gary Neville and yes, he'd team up well with Lineker.
How about Jeremy Hunt? He was beginning to recover from being a long-serving Health Secretary and now he produces this budget!
Graeme - good point, I'll add him.
