Tom Watson MP talks gobblegook. so sad!

tom watson has left a new comment on your post "Tom Watson MP is so sad!":

Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of one party that hearing shall hear & shall not understand, & another party that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware both of that more & of the outsiders’ incomprehension. You have a nice day now.

Absolute gobblegook Tom so nothing new there then!

A little bit more explanation is required I see. The quote comes from Folwer's Modern English Usage. It explains the use of irony in the English Language.

Do let me know if you need more help with comprehension.
