As a proud member of the loony left, I should like to apologise to Mr McGuire for the embarrassment being caused to him by Iains. In particular, I should like to apologise to Mr McGuire for the persistence with which Iains is using him as his source for his ongoing appeal to authority, that well-known logical fallacy. One tends to think that this resort is a clear indication of a person's inability to think for himself and to formulate constructive arguments. So sorry, Mr McGuire. I have tried, honest I have.
