Can't argue with the basis of his argument in that article to be fair. We were robbed.....and generations of Scots have been gullible enough to allow it to happen.

"Idiots"

Well to be honest.... yes.

If he is back, let's hope he sticks to targeting the economic illiterate and UKgov apologists.

He is never going to tone down the personal insults though...it is just who he is.. Unfortunate because it demeans otherwise very good journalism.

He bans anyone but fanboys from his own social media platform, and says whatever he likes. And he sued Kezia Dugdale for saying what she thought, he's hardly a poster boy for freedom of speech. 

And these are bad things when he does it, but good when someone else does it?

So it wasn't okay to be gay until relatively recently?

Sometimes it’s right to defy the law too.

Is the reason he keeps getting banned not that he's circumventing previous bans, with the first being for running harassing sock puppet accounts? Seems perfectly fair to me. He should try and be more subtle next time

I don’t think there was anything justifying his initial ban, other than shrill mopery from a group of extremists.

He can hardly complain about being banned from another platform for breaking the rules when he does it on his own platform just for disagreeing. Do you think Div should be allowed to ban people from here?

Ahh so hate speech then?

[D Angelo Barksdale]

It takes some going in a very crowded field to be the biggest VL in Scottish politics, but fair play to the creepy wee bigot.

Wonder who he will compare himself to this time. Last time it was Muhammad Ali, who next, MLK, Mandela, Ghandi ?

[Genuine Hibs Fan]

The woke left would rather eat chicken wings (with a pint of milk) than read Wings (not a crank) (yes I'm going to keep doing these) (yes with more ellipsis)

[D Angelo Barksdale]

Wings being banned from Twitter is a chilling Orwellian nightmare as predicted by the famous book Animal Farm, published in 1984 by the author Big Brother.

I don’t think people should be banned from anywhere unless they break the terms of service and I think banning people when they don’t break the terms of service is itself breaking the terms of service.

None of that from Campbell to my knowledge. People post actual hate speech every day with no consequence so I don’t really see how special treatment for Campbell is justified.

Struggling to find anything on here that he didn't do at one time or another tbh.

As a unionist I followed Campbell quite a bit and his passion for Scottish independence was undeniable.

His big problem was with the new SNP under Sturgeon which he began to believe was more interested in maintaining power and control in Scotland under the UK rather than Fight for independence.

He was also a social conservative and hated all things ‘woke’ which, inevitably, led him to clash with the SNP.

He was a brilliant journalist and led the charge against the missing £600k in the SNP Accounts amongst many other interesting crusades.

I just enjoyed reading his stuff and never thought he had done anything which could be classified as hateful.

Anyway, just my take on him and Wings.

Also came across lots of friendly people who put up with  my unionism with great tolerance.

You were embarrassed on this claim before. Let’s not see it happen again.
