Okay so the John Lewis ad might have Elton John in it, but there's no child flinging themselves at an electrical socket – 4/10 #eltonjohnlewis #JohnLewisChristmasAdpic.twitter.com/gXv1rF71MN

The brexit John Lewis advert. A ukelele version of 'should I stay or should I go' plays. Jacob Rees Mogg kicks a pigeon to death. Boris Johnson drives a bus with 'FREE MINCE PIES' into a revine. Nigel Farage screams outside an Indian takeaway. Theresa May voicover: "Fuck you"

Good luck to John Lewis trying to shift cuddly Elton John toys this year. #eltonjohnlewis

Graeme Le Saux couldn’t stand the 2018 John Lewis advert. “Using Elton John’s ‘Your Song’ is awful,” he snapped. “‘You can tell everybody this is your song’? Come off it – copyright laws are there for a reason.”

#EltonJohnLewis Nothing says 'Christmas' like an egotistical maniac who, in his own words, wasted a big part of his life on cocaine, had a monstrous side & once rang hotel reception to order them to make it stop raining. What a heart-sinking and depressing ad. It's a NO from me. pic.twitter.com/x6OsYJnnGP

But this might be our favourite comment.
I don’t have an opinion on the John Lewis Christmas advert or Elton John, so I’m forced to announce my resignation from Twitter.
