    A Labour Party official called him a 'control freak' with psychological issues.
    Lord Turnbull said he ran the Treasury Department with 'Stalinesque ruthlessness.'
    After speaking to one of his supporters about immigration policy, he was caught (on microphone) calling the woman a 'bigoted person' (2010).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He attended the University of Edinburgh at the age of 16, and received his doctorate several years later.
    While at school, he suffered retinal injuries while playing rugby that almost forced him to go blind.
    He began getting involved in politics at the age of 12.
    He and his brother John started their own newspaper at the age of 10, with proceeds going to aid African refugees.
