Just been alerted to this from Iain MacWhirter which has to be one of the most deliberate mischaracterisations of all time. I never said or implied anything of the sort. If anyone knows him and wants to push him towards apologising for tweeting his delusions out, please do

If you’re pissing them off this badly, you are doing a good job. Fuck that guy!

The same Iain McWhirter who was sacked from the Herald for a blatantly racist tweet? He’s got a cheek

I used to read the Herald every day back in the 90’s and early 00’s … MacWhirter came across as decent and knowledgeable in his articles. Since then the paper ( now owned by Newsquest) has gone down the unionist conspiracy rabbit hole and taken IMcW with them. I’ve seen some of his SocMedia and wow!

Plenty of an ironic lack of objectivity in his mini-rant, as he connects a government and military force creating famine to a faith practised across the globe. We rightly call out the Israeli government and IDF. He defaults, in a gutless apologist way, to 'You are attacking an entire religion'.
