He will row back on it. He will get the benefit of the doubt. I mean, it may sow some small doubts but the traffic is v much in the other direction. Again, to think there is an equivalence with Salisbury is a mistake.

Paul - you are not a swing voter and you hold them with contempt. No, there is not equivalence, in that the Tory machine in 2018 was not midway through being replaced, the SWP position was less unpopular than “give money to the Taliban”.

I’m afraid I don’t understand your analogy. And also, I Do Not Hold Swing Voters Or Reform Voters In Contempt. I’ve no idea why you are saying this.

Ok, I have not had any intention of, or being aware that I’ve treated you with contempt at any point in this conversation. Tbh, I feel it’s been coming in the other direction. I mean, I *am* contemptuous of the people who are monetising divisive and hateful reportage and commentary.
