Actually it is a common metaphor not ‘yours’ and is wholly inappropriately used here. This is on Mr. Fry’s response to DM shooting the messenger when Fry raised an issue publicly (as is his job to do so as a blogger, spokesperson, and officially labelled National Treasure [by the BBC]). DM responded by commenting not on the issues but on the person raising them, this is shooting the messenger. Fry’s response was to comment on the DMs treatment of him and their relation to these issues.
Surely the same take on victimisation could be applied to the DM, clearly the victim as every time they support an ideology it is overthrown and considered hideous and bilious by the ‘civilised’ world. Examples would be found in the categories of; Nazism, Racism, Sexism, Immigration, Religion, Democracy, Personal Privacy, Security, the right to a fair trial and on and on and on.
Right Wing: apparently now including people who are left wing but like to make jokes about women drivers.
