The way I see it Liz, is simply that you dislike him rather more than Fionn, who is also unlikely to invite him to her housewarming party. I think he's a nasty piece of work, who shagged a prostitute, got caught, lied through his teeth about it afterwards and then (after making money by lying through his expensively tended molars) eventually got exposed and jugged for it. That makes him a nasty piece of work against whom I bear no personal malice. Jonathon Aitken was someone I could get angry about. I think the politically correct term for what he did is "adviser on defence contracts". Some of us prefer the more prosaic term "gun runner". We are never likely to know all the details of what Aitken did, as such deals remain substantially secret even after wrongdoing has been exposed in court. However, the damage done to our country by arms dealing was almost certainly vastly greater than any caused by Archer. It can be gratifying to witness the fall of a smug and priveleged man, but it does not appeal to the side of my character which I like. I think Fionn's point is that the malice felt towards Archer is out of proportion to the damage he caused. I can go along with that.
