Toby Young’s written a book of how to keep kids occupied in the holidays and it’s his children we feel sorry for

When he’s not struggling with the concept of ‘acting’ writer Toby Young has also written a book of how to keep kids occupied during the school holidays. It doesn’t sound fun.

Here’s another gem from the highlights in The Sun, which we won’t link to because Rupert Murdoch is a ballbag:

“INSTEAD of heading to the cinema why not get them to make their own movie. Rope in some of their pals and encourage them to come up with an idea – such as a pirate movie – and write a script. Then settle down and enjoy your own blockbuster.”

Then you can spend hours afterwards carefully explaining to them why you thought their “pirate movie” was TEDIOUS, HISTORICALLY INACCURATE and BADLY PACED.

UPDATE!

Toby Young has only gone and got a job helping to lead the government’s university watchdog. Read all about what people made of that here
