didn't mean it to sound overly accusatory - crooked debating tricks are used by all of us, usually unintentionally. This particular one is one that's a real bugbear for me, I can't believe so many people get away with it unchallenged - Anne Widdecombe was on Channel 4 News last night saying the same thing as Andy and Jon Snow didn't pick her up on it.
Now, I don't know whether Widdecombe's using it deliberately or not, but surely Jon snow's seen enough of this sort of crooked thinking to spot it.
didn't mean to insult you Andy, and I certainly don't mean to compare you - intellectually, physically or sexually - to Anne Widdecombe.
