Wings Over Scotland is a (mainly) Scottish political media digest and monitor, which also offers its own commentary. I’m acutely aware that my familiarity with Scottish politics and with some of the prominent figures in and around it does not (and likely never will) approach the level of knowledge many Bella readers already possess. That is where discussion should be right now, and is, thanks to WoS. I will side with anyone, even people I’ve disagreed with in the past, if it means truth will out, and corruption exposed. You’re beginning to sound a wee bit patronising there, Mike ..! The woman hating? Certainly, to reference in the Spanish Inquisition as he did the other day, suggesting that straight people are being persecuted like the recently converted Jews and Muslims were in 17th century Spain is alt right propaganda….. Published from its offices at 200 Renfield Street Glasgow and printed in Scotland by Newsquest (Herald & Times) a division of Newsquest Media Group Ltd, registered in England & Wales with number 01676637 at Loudwater Mill, Station Road, High Wycombe HP10 9TY – a Gannett company. What he does is alienate them from the movement, myself included. WoS is an obnoxious prick who has no one left shouting his praises that are anything other than sycophantic morons. Someone like that might find him very useful. And THIS is why myself and other read him (your ‘cult’ comments are offensive, by the way, denigrating, as they do, the capacity for rational ratiocination of a LOT of people), not because he is far too quick sometimes to fling abuse at somebody he finds deserving of it. Stu Campbell is a prick, who seems to lack social skills. But it wasn’t. This is the reason why the readership of Wings has exploded. Thank you! Wings Over Scotland .

You point out that Neil McKay “I should say I have been published by Neil Mackay, I have publicly and privately disagreed with him and I think he’s made grave editorial decisions, but it goes without saying that none of this means he is deserving of the abuse he received this week” yet you seem unable to cut Stuart the same latitude. Career opportunities, weekly specials, and location finder. Sadly the only real winners from this fiasco are the unionists who will be laughing all the way to the polling booths which is a great shame and will be to the detriment of us all and probably our children.

The independence movement is hardly ”deconstructing ” because some nerdy bloggers are arguing about who is the biggest zoomer ! You obviously haven’t visited Campbell’s site. When Unionists who used to rail against a site suddenly start praising it alarm bells should be ringing in your head. ‘Helping deliver independence is what WoS is all about. Aye, but all these blogs etc. I started reading Wings a couple of months ago because it is the only source for regular, honest analysis of the (alleged) SNP leadership conspiracy to frame Alex Salmond and the subsequent cover-up, which seems to be unraveling now on a daily basis. And most of Scotland feels embarrassed for you. Is the problem, for you, not a case of jealousy over his reading figures. This question is much more important than trying to prove one way or another whether people are transphobes or homophobes are whatever, a bad move anyway in my book as what you end up with there is half the country falling into such categories. I count myself as a former donor in the early days and one of those who too readily made allowances for him even up until 4 or 5 years ago. That’s his revenue stream now, and they’re sitting up begging to be monetised. Talker. But what you also need is a threshold. Lang may his wings beat! Your amateur blogs are in no way a match for the concise and factual wings journalism. Don’t forget JK Rowling and Johan Lamont, once sworn enemies now praised to the hilt. Bella Caledonia is an online magazine publishing social, political and cultural commentary. The homophobia? I gave up on ‘Wings’ because I found the tone unnecessarily aggressive and offensive. ‘Rope’ and ‘hang themselves’ are two terms that spring to mind. I think Campbell’s politics are an odd mixture, but certainly some of the homophophia, misogyny and transphobia is reactionary and right wing, yes. To suggest ( or fervently wish ? ) From what you’ve published here, I think Craig might be well advised to avoid any reference to the WoS site, if he’s to avoid being tarnished by association. This is not just silly, but objectionable, as is the reply from Mike at 4.39pm. I once thought this site meant something, not any morem. Perhaps Watergate isn’t the best comparison.

Bella Caledonia Editor says: 10th April 2021 at 9:04 pm There’s lots to love about the BBC – I didnt call it evil – the drama mostly and a ton of content people adore (much of it groundbreaking and award-winning) – the issue is its role at pivotal moments such as this. Lol. So what’s the answer if you really think Wings is a very damaging bigoted hate blog? Could I please ask anyone who abbreviates to stop it, its ok for the likes of SNP, but the rest is just plain laziness in the use of vocabulary. It's a simple question but not one often asked, probably as most economics bloggers like myself get bogged down in numbers and over-complicate the issue. The pub bore has entered the building,best ignore the sad loner,cheers Time the Deer. Go and get some fresh air and have a wee rethink? The reasons have been highlighted already: 1) Many do actually like the fact issues hardly anyone else is willing to touch in the independence movement are addressed head-on (SNP ‘corruption’ and increasingly, suspect internal politics, GRA (he is obsessed with this but then a lot of people are), free speech issues, upping the anti re making indy happen etc); 2) It is entertaining and not sanctimonious – for all his vitriol, Campbell is humorous with it and the writing is infectious. Stuart Campbell. And Heidi Fleiss. Your claim about the vitriol in his writing (ref: Steve 2009, tweet 2015) seems weak. The best time to recognise he was a vicious bigot was before the referendum, before the crowdfunders, before the pathetic attempts to bankrupt women who criticised his homophobia, before the attacks on rape crisis centres, before the attacks on young activists, before the attacks on trans people, before the attacks on gay and lesbian mps.

We have decided to make the ability to comment only available to our 12,000 paying subscribers. Why do you feel embarrassed for Mike? None of it matters any more. In the February hearings Facebook and Twitter were between them sending me over 200,000 readers a day”. So there was a legal judgement, as I said previously, that Campbell is not homophobic. The cult has language codes, logos, slogans and forums to congregate and blocking mechanisms to stop members experiencing views they don’t agree with. In the Dugdale case he said readers couldn’t tell the difference between opinion columns and news. Self identification is on the agenda or in law in various countries right now, and regardless of who the leader or the FM might be, it would be on the table in Scotland. There are I think a few points worth considering with respect to your article. Christ, clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right…what the fuck ever HAPPENED to this country? They all love the money the UK state gives them as elected puppets. Now they are between them sending me 3,000 readers a day”. Yet despite your criticism you are still reading Bella ! Mike, my advice is to forget about Stuart Campbell and concentrate on what you do best, which is critiquing the British establishment and Scottish Unionism. I donate to BC and will continue to do so because it has at least one really good article each week, some of them written by yourself. Another spiteful , anecdotal article on WoS revealing that Sturgeon is Satan and has 666 tattooed under her face mask ? Here he is mocking a women for using her Irish name …. Writer. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and there were obviously those who recognised him for what he was right at the start, but before those of us who made excuses for him for far too long start self-flagellating, we need to bear in mind why he was able to occupy the position he did, because otherwise it’ll keep happening.

Trying to defend the indefensible – you are exactly what he is talking about. The easiest option fo them is not to publish this but that isn’t good enough. I don’t care about his ‘extensive research’ if, in the same sentence or paragraph, he disbelieves the degree of someone’s disability or contributes to transphobia. I highly doubt he’s of a ‘higher plane’ of consciousness or something, he’s literally just a reactionary bigot that pathetic saddos idolise. He has been minimising and normalising physical violence against women and children for almost a decade — whether it’s emails to women explaining to them they haven’t been raped; long twitter threads about how Mark Field grabbing a green peace protestor by the neck and dragging her across the floor was justified; publishing and promoting abusers like Eric Joyce; or his whitewashing Bill Walker’s decades of wife and child abuse. YOURS FOR SCOTLAND. What a ridiculous mindset you’ve bored yourself into. “Iain Duncan Smith, we suspect, won’t pay a terribly great deal of attention to his new protégé‘s report if and when it eventually comes out ... because its main purpose – trolling the Nats – has already been served.”, Edinburgh Whites-Up for the Fringe non-white, non-male, non-heterosexual, non-cis, non-binary, non-indigenous, non-orthodox… in a word, ‘different’.

Sorry for the wait, readers, but having fancy custom stuff made simply takes time. Celtic's dreams of a domestic treble remain alive after a Scottish Cup quarter-final replay win at home to Dundee United. They are some of the most hateful and disgusting remarks I’ve ever read. Two weeks later he wrote newspapers can’t be balanced because it’s easy for people to skip past opinion pieces.

Substantiate that claim with evidence. The ApprenticeWings Over Scotland“If we were a would-be entrepreneur in a disadvantaged area, we wouldn’t hold out too much hope of the Mone… If Bella did not dodge the big issues (like the whole Salmond/Sturgeon business) then readers like me wouldn’t have to go to Wings and put up with Stuart Campbell’s abrasive personality and sledgehammer wit. • Tell me more.

The first is the twist in the road from widespread discontent at the shape and standards of the media – into something which looks much more like pure hate: that all journalists are scum, that all media institutions are corrupt and that the media is the enemy.” I would suggest that there are some very significant issues with respect to how Scottish politics is covered, it’s honesty and the narratives it peddles. Campbell will end up with a show on Andrew Neil’s new channel, watch and wait…. What happens if Westminster says no to indyref2?

We said Yes. “We’re also not too sure that political life in the UK will be greatly enhanced by the addition of Michelle Mone’s razor-sharp lawmaking brain to the House Of Lords, though doubtless a few dusty old peers will have their day brightened.

And to save you the time, yes I am a white middle-aged male – as hopefully you will be Mike in the not too distant future.

I haven’t posted on his site for years but I still find value in his political analysis even when I disagree with him.
