Alibi Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Amazing the number of people of the unionist persuasion who think that that BrianSpanner1 character is anything other than a nasty wee toley. His tweets are often utterly vile - that one is pretty mild by comparison. STV's Steven Daisley recommends him,; JK Rowling promotes him; That appalling Effie Deans hangs on his every word. Can you imagine if a Yes supporter ran an account like his one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Allegedly it's Euan McColm who is behind the Brian Spanner bile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 That's an old post. I thought the Spanner account had been abandoned because somebody was getting close to finding out who it was? Is this Spanner fella still active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapofGlencoe Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) This Spanner business is everything that's wrong with social media. Both sides looking for score points over tedious trolls. Who the f cares. 20 years ago i can't imagine what people would say if they thought journalists of respected newspapers would be tweeting their teas to each other and that articles in serious newspapers would give air time to the rambles (offensive or not) of complete non-entities. I actually read somewhere on twitter about how we're supposedly living in this nationalistic, divided, poisoned nation. Journos/activists are living in a different world online. It's crazy how much everything has actually just gone on pretty much as normal. A divided nation is when you're religion, background go against you. There are problems, of course like all countries; We're not there, the comentariat need to get a grip. Folk may be hard activists online but who gives a f; it rarely rears it's head outside their android phones.
