According to a reliable source, the former BNP Leader Nick Griffin is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the politician's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 24/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Griffin for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 65-year-old politician, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Griffin so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the politician have already been named ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘Barnet Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Barnet (Nick Griffin's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the politician was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Nick Griffin Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveNick”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 23 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Nick Griffin?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Nick Griffin?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
