Thanks for link, SueDonim, informative. Love the subversive element!

Entirely justified I'd say.

1. Farage
2. Trump

2016 has been their year!

considering Time had Hitler as person of the year in the 1930's we shouldn't be surprised...maybe Farage will aspire to it next year?On a National level it would be Scotlands first minister ,the only person who has been on the ball re Brexit..and international the guy who started Mary's Meals ,they now feed over a million children a day ,thats kids who would otherwise go hungry and go without education ,as they need to attend school to be fed.It appears to be a better organised charity than some of the big ones who take money and we cant see how its spent

Given the influence he has exerted this year, I can see why he has been chosen. The cover is very interesting. It talks about the Divided States of America.

I've recently read a deconstruction of the photo, I'll see if I can link to it. Hope this works!

Time magazine has named Donald Trump "Person of the Year."
Love him or hate him, how justified is this?
Who would you name, (1) on a national (2) on an international level...and why?
