Oh boy.
First up, for those not in the UK, Toby Young is one of the most predictable and idiotic commentators in print media in this country. And no, that's not hyperbole.
For example, he has a stock template article ready to go whenever there's any whiff of controversy on Twitter involving anything remotely "woke". He'll change a few words, hit publish and there's his new hatchet job complaining about The Youth of Today and Those Bloody Woke Leftists. Does it matter what the actual issue is? Nope!
You might think that this is an ad-hominem atatck on Young, and it partially is. But his article is just an appeal to authority, why not dismiss it on the exact same grounds.
