Oh Lord, now Heath’s getting in on the act; and, of course, TW just comes out with the usual “you think you’re superior” comment.
This is the problem with quasi-intellectual nonsense about things such as “whataboutery”, which is a ridiculously contrived word that wouldn’t be out of place in some pseudo-cerebral Radio 4 discussion between academic “experts” who know better than anyone else (spot the irony, TW), or some BBC Newsnight reporter dissecting the minutiae of some trivial person’s speech (the once excellent Radio 4 and Newsnight have seriously gone down the pan in recent years, but I digress).
Will it ever be possible again, one wonders, for the simple words “I’m certainly not defending him” actually to mean I’m certainly not defending him. This board gets more like a Monty Python sketch every week — we even have a budgie, which might not be a parrot but is pretty close.
