Oh no no, it’s purely the actions that mark him as a West Brit in my eyes. He could be a person or a juggle-of-numbers bot, the sneering at immigration journalism’s enough.

All good points.
It does beg the question-is there a way to get these people on without opening the field to dodgy money-backed populists like Britsy McGregor?

To be fair, all that would have done is increase the list of people turning up at all the councils to hear them say no to them.

…an Army guy is talking through his arse.
But to civilians the politician and the military guy are one and the same talking about one and the same. Jim showed his naiveté in thinking a populace being primed for pacifism would have any understanding of what a military could legitimately claim.

To be fair there’s a public blindness about the “military objectives” comment (military objective-getting the guy who shot at you vs. Israeli objective-getting the guy who shot at you along with his entire family). But he was clumsy to use in-house terminology with uneducated audiences.
