I don't think it does. I'm tempted to be slightly generous in that The Herald knew what they had with a statement like that and obviously went with it for their headline, but... It quite starkly illustrates the fundamental problem here: that what many view to be a "public" is in reality not that at all. It's a business service provided at the whim of private enterprise.
He's perfectly entitled to make his points in whichever crude way he wants. That's for his shareholders to grumble about.
But the level of detachment and tone deafness should ring alarm bells for everyone here, if they're not already paying attention. It's perfectly fair to have it shown front and centre like this. |
