DonnyTJS Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Does he still have that quote misattributed to Gandhi on the front page? I couldn't get beyond that ... did my head in. (I could just about cope with it when Lamia had it as her signature, but she wasn't making any claims of journalistic integrity). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 agree with Flora. Quite happy to see a nasty dirty fighting on our side. In the past MSM would have tore someone like him apart, now with crowd funding and blogs etc, not so easy. Can imagine they have been digging well into his past to try and find something. Contributed to his site today as I did in the referendum. His blue book was a major part in Yes pushing close in the last two weeks, something MSM commentators seem to avoid mentioning at all costs.

aaid Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think overall he does it is just a pity he has these big flaws. But as i said you probably wouldn't get the good stuff if he didn't have these flaws. He upsets people who need to be upset, its a public service.

Scunnered Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 He upsets people who need to be upset, its a public service. Imagine if he upset the people who need to be upset... But without upsetting the people he shouldn't be upsetting. I'm curious, how many people link folk directly to wings? Or do you relay his findings in your own words?

When people stumble upon Mr. Campbell abusing people... Especially the general public, it discredits his otherwise decent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Have the folk who are slagging him off actually read all his articles about the nurse? If you have can you please tell me what you think is wrong with them. As far as I can see, he is highlighting the hypocrisy and incompetence of the Labour party and the Record. He isn't having a go at the nurse. I am "astounded" at the amount of abuse he is getting on here for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't having a go at the nurse. I am "astounded" at the amount of abuse he is getting on here for this. Yes I have and there is nothing wrong with them factually but plenty to misrepresent - he gave them an open door which he didn't need to. It was obvious that this would be portrayed that he was hounding a defenceless nurse and that is what happened. Now the actual point has been lost and his timing was shit to could he not have left it until the Record printed their Smith apology. On this occasion you can actually defend his point however but this isn't always the case and once he starts he just won't stop no matter how much damage he is doing. I will however share his stuff because regardless of what I think of him he does some brilliant work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunnered Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Here's a scenario: Yes activist: here's a link to an excellent article debunking scare stories Neutral voter: thanks very much I'll check that out. No activist: Wings? Here's a link to a site cataloguing him abusing people. Including sexist and homophobic abuse. See what I'm getting at?
