The Fringe, the International Festival, and the Film Festival, I can all understand.\n\nThe Book Festival, that's pushing it a bit.\n\nThe Politics Festival, that really is just taking the piss.\n\nIt's not that politics is particularly boring or unimportant, it can be quite fascinating and is integral to almost any major event in history, but it's just not the kind of thing that requires a festival. Try as I might, I can't see a crowd of stinking hippies sitting round in a circle, sniffing glue and discussing the merits of the capital gains tax.\n\nNext up, the Festival of Accountancy.
