Sorry to get a tad political but doesn’t all this rather smack of Lenin’s ‘useful idiots’ strategy?
(There are some who doubt the attribution of this idea to Vladimir Ilyich himself – but it is just so very Leninesque that I possess few doubts that this was indeed, his baby.)
He both scorned and valued those quarter wits who had so easily and naively fallen for all of his propaganda. They were incapable of grasping that it would either lead to their own destruction or to an end product which would be totally out of synch with their desired outcomes.
The old teacher in me feels the need to say: DISCUSS in the context of SUFC over recent years!
