Indeed.

Oooh look at you with your inverse snobbery!

Interesting view.

Occupy Pointlessness.

Oh, a totally irrelevant point introduced to get a dig in. Not surprised.

You are the first person I've seen that has said this. I'm curious as to how exactiy you think Webb 'destroyed' Brands piece? Perhaps Webbs piece in the observer you mentioned was different than his new statesmen article. An article where at no point did Webb even flirt with the idea of a valid rebuttal to anything Brand had actually wrote or said.

I agree. It was a very weak rebuttal even though I'd be inclined to agree with the sentiment.
