I wasn't (or I didn't think I was). I was merely using the ideas addressed in your post as a jumping-off point. If I gave the impression of interrogating you or disagreeing with you then I didn't express myself clearly enough. That was not my intention at all. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Incidently, I'm not actually predicting that any newspaper would report a theoretical Farage assasination in those terms - just saying that translating the specifics of something as serious as the taking of a life from the particular to the general is illogical - and, when it's done to subliminally demonise political rivals in the public imagination, underhanded and dishonest. Which I know we are in agreement about.
