 I thought yesterday about making a very similar comment, but on 
 reflection decided not to. Morality is a social construct. Morality 
 doesn't have to be sensible or pragmatic, it can just be group prejudice. 
  
 The fact the media can whip up sentiment against Andrew and have it 
 supported by the majority, suggests his behaviour could reasonably be 
 characterised as immoral. Immoral for this week, anyway, next week, who 
 knows?
