Al Murray's Make Christmas Great Again review

A few years ago, the Pub Landlord's xenophobic conceit seemed to be wearing thin. In the light of recent politics, he seems fresh and even prescient. The effect is unsettling: in the laughs and cheers there are traces of the emotions he is ostensibly subverting. Is he teasing those who mock the French? Or us, the crowd who laugh slightly too loudly when he mocks the French? It's no coincidence that in the best moments last night, as Murray claimed that Christmas was a British creation, he brought to mind other boisterous populists on both sides of the Atlantic.
