Why flowery? Why pink? Why purple? Didn't Gordon Brown spread this plague around? Cameron seems hardly better. Obama's ties seem better. Newsreaders, news editors... Don't they pay them enough to wear something decent? God knows what their shoes must be like. Then there are the tieless, in the public eye... Just a Brit affliction, is it? How goes it on Fox News?
Forget the ties. What's it with you people on about clothes all the time? Garden Broom was a plague in his own right. Big, fat, nervy, shit of a fellow; whom the world should principally remember for the tits-up mess that it's in now.
Jon Snow, on Channel 4 News, has the worst collection of ties that I have seen on television. Truly garish!
They are unbelievably bad.
I had to bite my tongue in Sims & McDonald recently when they told me that Jon Snow buys his ties there.
He also gets some of his ties from Victoria Richards:

To be fair, Jon Snow is a cut above any of the other newsreaders on offer in the UK, including his ties.
