Whataboutery

Just got around to watching the Northern Ireland Party Leaders Debate.

I can't remember when I last heard so much whataboutery from a single person. I'm struggling to think of a single positive thing the DUP representative said. It's depressing.

The political culture here in Northern Ireland, particularly in the DUP, really is incredibly negative and fixated on the past.  Could we get whoever is organising these debates to do something about whataboutery?  If sluggerotoole can do it, why not the BBC?
