17 times Jim Felton made Twitter a much funnier place
If you’re interested in topical tweets, you can’t have missed those by best-selling author, Jim Felton, who somehow manages to wring a laugh out of the most dreadful and infuriating news.

I’m sorry little Timmy but if you didn’t want to starve you should have thought about that before you were born to parents who can’t afford food
