The Pot Calling the Kettle.

I gather the British tycoon Richard Branson has advised people to boycott Uganda over its new draconian anti-gay laws. I’m inclined to agree (although I suspect that Uganda’s action is primarily intended to be salutary rather than punitive, which is a separate argument and of little comfort to gays.)

My problem here is with the mouth out of which the advice is coming. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I consider Branson and his greedy ilk to be prime architects of the deleterious social changes which have taken place in Britain over the past thirty years. And so, while I agree with boycotting Uganda, I would also advise that we boycott all things Virgin.
