Wake Me Up When It's All Over...
Unpublished Letters to The Daily Telegraph
Ed. Kate MoorePostscript summary
The 13th volume of the Daily Telegraph’s annual anthology of letters to the editor covers events in politics, sport and entertainment during the year 2021. Stop-start lockdowns, Boris Johnson’s wallpaper, a sausage war with the EU, Matt Hancock, Dominic Cummings and Meghan and Harry all provide rich material for readers’ wit.
Now in its thirteenth year, this new edition of the best-selling series is a review of the year made up of the wry and astute observations of the unpublished Telegraph letter writers.
Readers of the Telegraph Letters Page will be fondly aware of the eclectic combination of learned wisdom, wistful nostalgia and robust good sense of humour that characterise its correspondence - whether it's suggesting the sci-fi Vulcan salute as an alternative to the now-discouraged handshake, or a parable of political dysfunction drawn from shopping in Ikea.
From Brexit to Covid, Trump to Biden, lockdown to vaccination, parish council Jackie Weaver to Texas Cat lawyer Rod Ponton, no one escapes their hilariously whimsical and sometimes risque musings. With an agenda as enticing as ever, the thirteenth book in the bestselling Unpublished Letters series will prove, once again, that the Telegraph's readers still have a shrewd sense of what really matters.
