Is that this controversial journalist David Leask’s most cowardly article so far?


As I sit down to put in writing this, there are simply two hours and ten minutes of 2022 to go, so I am not going to aim a prolonged blogpost, however I do not suppose it ought to go fully unmentioned that the controversial journalist David Leask has sunk to one more new low in the present day by penning an article within the Herald which makes an attempt in a deniable technique to hyperlink Alex Salmond (and George Galloway for that matter) with anti-Semitism and Nazi sympathies, one thing he would discover not possible to justify if he mentioned it extra immediately.  The implied logic goes like this – a) there’s a historical past of anti-Semitic Nazi sympathisers in Scotland, albeit largely in Tory ranks, b) weasel phrases similar to “globalist” are actually used as a canopy for anti-Semitism, c) “globalist” can also be a phrase utilized by individuals who help Putin, d) unnamed politicians who everyone knows to be Mr Salmond and Mr Galloway introduced reveals on RT earlier than the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and e) that is all one way or the other related.

You’re a pathetic coward, Mr Leask.  In order for you, with out a shred of proof, to name Mr Salmond a Nazi sympathiser, an anti-Semite, and even one of many Scottish apologists for the invasion of Ukraine, by all means have the heart to strive it and see the way you get on in courtroom.
