19 of the most outrageously bad public Christmas trees of all time
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, or so the song tries to convince us, and Britain’s public spaces are decorated with Christmas trappings to get us all in the festive mood.
One person who wasn’t exactly brimming with Christmas spirit was professional hate-monger, Katie Hopkins, who used Trafalgar Square’s tree to have a pop at London’s Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan.
This is how it looks now that it’s been decorated.
