The Qaddafi regime was overthrown by the use of modern communications that overrode official propaganda.
Mobile phone videos are destroying the credibility of Syrian State TV propaganda.
The internet is working to create political change, for the better, in every part of the world apart from Scotland where the undemocratic nature of the internet is in play according to
Pro-independence bloggers the so-called “cybernats” go online in an attempt to trash the reputations of those whom they think do not support the SNP’s cause. Gray warned Labour candidates that cybernats and bloggers would question their sexuality and drag their families into the “vitriol”.
I say to the candidates. Don’t kid yourself. You will be attacked. You will be smeared. You will be lied about. You will be threatened,” Gray said. The cybernats and the bedsit bloggers will call you traitor, quisling, lapdog and worse. They will question your appearance, your integrity and your sexuality. They will drag your family and your faith into the lies and the vitriol. It will be worse if you are a woman.
This is the poison some have brought into our politics and it is vile.
I sympathise with Mr Grey, the Labour Party has a divine right to govern Scotland! Using any new technology to dispute that right is like feeding Satan!
It shouldn't be allowed.
Anyone remember Natwatch or the Welsh Mirror?
ReplyDeleteShudder! The only purpose for the existence of the Welsh Mirror was to attack "nats" - when Plaid's vote fell at the second Assembly election its job was done.
ReplyDeleteAny remember the "Hairy Mellon Jones" sock puppets from Labour on usenet? The party in Wales that has a consistent record of using new media to smear their opponents has been Labour.
I cant understand why he thinks there is anything inaccurate in the description of many members of Brit-Labour in Scotland or Wales as being Quislings, Traitors and Lapdogs?
