Without any trace of irony

An unedited and brief twittering that I had with Guido 'the only man to enter parliament with honest intention' Fawkes, whose intention seems to be to out-Tory the Tories.

The line that Guido was de-ironising was;
“We’ve had enough of people going into politics for self-aggrandisement.”

@ Sounds perfectly reasonable. You seem to thrive on specious reaction to anything anyone left says.

@ Are you bovvered if the majority of your rants against the left are baseless arse gravy? I don't know, are you?

So, then. What can one make of that? What I've decided to do is conclude that GF agrees that his reaction to what anyone from the left says is specious, and that they are baseless arse gravy. This is probably less specious than his suggestion that Chuka Umunna, while seemingly bemoaning political career choice as a bolster to self-importance, is clearly only in politics to gain importance.

Alternatively, it could also mean that;

a) he doesn't care
b) he thought I meant that Chuka was being specious
c) he doesn't know what specious means. Maybe he thinks I said 'special'.
