"My personal response was anger, a self indulgent, abhorrent piece of writing. The irony of the headline is not lost on me. How many fans can Garry Linnell win with his "superior" moral outrage. Moral conviction isn't transactional, its an ideal, a position. He feigns empathy for Palestine only to mock people who act on their convictions. And why not Sudan, Myanmar etc.? Possibly because every atrocity cannot be addressed in a concert, none should be according to him. Why, when recognising the gap, did he not use his position to highlight these issues? This whataboutism does not strengthen his point", Nicole.
