Ep 7: Quentin Letts on Winners, Mask Politics, Charisma Auras, Humour Essentials, Prime Ministers and 2022

What Are Your Three Things?

Quentin is an author, a British parliamentary sketch writer and theatre critic who has written for the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, numerous magazines and now writes for the Times and Sunday Times. You can find him on Twitter @thequentinletts and www.quentinletts.co.uk. He is also a regular guest on numerous shows including the BBC’s Any Questions where his answers usually achieve the loudest laughs – and a fair few boos! Impish and fiercely independent, Quentin uses the English language as a cartoon. How does he describe the current Government investigation into 10 Downing Street’s alleged Christmas parties in the 2020 lockdown? “Part pantomime, part Pink Panther”. Inspector Clouseau is on the case! A prolific author, Quentin’s work includes Fifty People who Buggered Up Britain, Patronising Bastards and, most recently, Stop Bloody Bossing Me About. To quote the author, “reasonable people have had enough of being bossed about. And when reasonable people stop respecting the law, society has a problem.” His past may also illuminate his present: he has worked as a barman, dustman, door-to-door salesman, warehouseman and Father Christmas. From dustbins to politics: it’s not such a long journey, maybe. Quentin’s mission is to harass, tickle and tease the politicians and poohbahs allegedly “in charge” and he does so with a happy irreverence. Enjoy the podcast!
