Richard Littlejohn in 1994:
Does anyone really give a monkey’s about what happens in Rwanda? If the Mbongo tribe wants to wipe out the Mbingo tribe then as far as I am concerned that is entirely a matter for them.
Simon Jenkins in 2012:
North Korea has fired a big rocket into the sky, put a satellite in orbit and then splashed the rocket into the sea. How much should I care? Not much. How much should we all care? The answer is not much.
Does anyone else know where to start with this deeply parochial shrug of the shoulders? This sub-section of declaring-lack-of-interest-and-expecting-a-sugar-cube-in-reward more forthrightly expressed by John Littledick?
