Suggestions Please – Best & Worst of 2022; Heroes & Villians

‘The Steeple Times’ requests submissions of the best and worst people of 2022 along with suggestions of those who’ll be missed and who won’t

It’s nearly that time of year when The Steeple Times shares its annual lists of the best and worst people of the year past and its lists of those who’ve passed who’ll be missed and those that won’t.

 

Our categories, as ever, are as follow:

 

 

Whilst we’ll naturally be highlighting the obvious such as eternally wonderful “more is more and less is a bore” centenarian Iris Apfel and the constant year-on-year awfulness of ‘Ginge and Cringe’ and ‘Randy Andy’ in our overview sections, we’d more so appreciate your submissions of lesser known heroes and villains of 2022 especially.

 

We don’t doubt we’ll get missives about Matt Hancock, Boris Johnson, Anthea Turner, Dame Mary Berry, Sir Cliff Richard, Sir Richard Branson, Dame Patricia Routledge, Donald Trump, Richard Madeley and Owen Jones from both their fans and detractors, but community heroes and those who’ve brought a little joy to the world in 2022 would be even more welcomed.

 

Please send your nominations to editorial@thesteepletimes.com by 10am on Friday 30th December 2022. The completed rankings – with upto 25 in each category – will be published on Sunday 1st January 2023 and we look forward to your suggestions of those you have loved and loathed in equal measure in a tempestuous year marked by the cost-of-living crisis and the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In 2019, our winners were TV host Lorraine Kelly and sick Instagram ‘influencer’ Larysa Switylk. The former excelled after having a pop at Carrie Johnson during a live segment and became a “gritty heroine of our times.” The latter was exposed for having shoved sex toys up the bums of sheep she shot and for continuing to massacre endangered animals alongside the Trump children.
In 2020, our winners were humble groom Bob Grace and “ultimate neighbour hell” Home Secretary Priti Patel. The former led out his first winner after 38 years of racing at Royal Ascot and of him one Twitter user concluded: “Bob is wonderful, be like Bob.” The latter angled for a return to the death penalty in the UK and kept on “minglin’” and “movin’” and generally misusing the English language. Sadly, she’s gotten even more God damned awful in the years since.
In 2021, our winners were Richard Ratcliffe and Ghislaine Maxwell. The former worked tirelessly towards getting his wife returned from Iran and even conducted a 21-day hunger strike at Westminster. The latter thankfully got sent down, but remains a convicted sex offender who seemingly sex trafficked to no one actually convicted of receiving her victims. We also made Marcus Rashford our ‘Hero of the Decade’ for his work raising funds to provide 21 million meals for those in need and joined those glad about the deaths of Bernie Madoff, Phil Spector and the late paedophile Sir Jimmy Savile’s equally repugnant chauffeur Raymond Teret.
The passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the saddest moments of 2022 for many in the UK. Who else will make it to that list and who’ll join the list that won’t be missed will be revealed on 1st January 2023 in ‘The Steeple Times.’
