Hence caution is required when certain people suddenly get elevated to almost messiah status, as Lynch recently did.
The scum of the earth remark was just me saying what my opinion of a very small number of Leave voters is, I wasn’t referring to anyone else.

I think Lynch is a very grounded person and while I take the general point you make, I’d be surprised if it applied to him.
