No one holds the title World s Most Unpopular Man for very long. There s always a fresh contender on the way up, offering even more to dislike.
One day Donald Trump holds the title, and the next day it s Philip Green. Then along comes Prince Andrew, but already Harvey Weinstein and Kim Jong-un and Gavin Williamson are hot on his heels.
Currently, Jamie Spears is in the lead. For the past 13 years, the grim-faced Mr Spears has been the legal conservator of his erratic pop star daughter Britney. This gives him control over virtually everything she does.
Britney argues that he has mis-used his position. She claims he has forced her to perform live shows while sick, prevented her from getting married or having another child, and made her take medications against her will.
He was the Casanova of Coronation Street, the leery lad with a macho swagger who made a play for every woman he fancied.
As factory boss Mike Baldwin, he spent 30 years locked in a feud over his lust for another man’s wife – an affair that divided the entire country.
And the private life of actor Johnny Briggs, who has died aged 85 after a long illness, was no less racked by scandals over women.
Twice divorced, he bragged of more than 1,000 sexual conquests and suffered repeated humiliations in the news pages for his outspoken sexist attitudes as well as his infidelities.
“Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.” Can you still say that in Jack And The Beanstalk, or is there a politically correct alternative featuring another ethnic majority? I’ll find that out next Sunday when I tune in to the virtual pantomime being streamed by Hamilton Academical, the proceeds of which are going to three local charities. The man behind it – “Oh no he isn’t!” – is the club’s CEO Colin McGowan. Accies may be languishing on the field but it would be difficult to find one trying to get closer to its community, although I have to say this is hardly reciprocated. The average crowd is less than 3,000 – and that includes the two or three usual visits from both Celtic and Rangers, the teams that most locals seem to prefer to support rather than their own.
