It must have been the mention of Rees-Mogg that did it, but this post put me in mind of Norman Tebbitt's bonkers "cricket test".

According to Tebbitt, those Indian fans should have been mourning England's defeat rather than celebrating their teams win. As if Tebbitt would have supported India in a series against England if he had been appointed UK Ambassador to that country upon his retirement from politics and had been doing the job for, say, ten years.

If I'd had to move to Belgium because of my work and settled there for the rest of my life, Tebbitt would have it that I should have been supporting Belgium when they faced Wales in 2016 - there would have been absolutely no chance of that happening!
