Wings Over Scotland

Yeah…that really does not surprise me in the slightest.

An these peepul call themselve’s churnalists?

It’s good to see the Herald taking an inclusive approach to employment and allowing staff with Specific Learning Difficulties carry out the function of sub-editor.

Three cheers for the Helrad.

They’re telling the readers it IS journalism, so there!

Redsigned is just shorthand for saying they publish SLAB press releases almost unedited.

Not easy when the intelligent, educated staff left a long time ago. :-))

Has it indeed come to this? George MacDonald Fraser & Arnold Kemp must be spinning, wherever they are noo!

That’s just sic….

To be fair, your use of red crayon is an appropriate illustration of “the quality of the Herald brand and it’s[sic] journalism”.

I trust they will thank you for your proof reading…

The Herald – don’t even think about it!

Ah! What a refection is there!

I will reflect on days gone by when I ‘took’ the Herald because of the professional journalism and the variety of ideas and ideals explored therein.

That reminds me of the staccato-paced Labour Party in Scotland party political video, of 2015 perhaps.

It had words shifting hither and thither about the screen (in most irritating but copycat-‘modern’ fashion)… words of which ‘BEHAVIOUR’ was misspelt.

Education or attention FAIL.

@Dan Hull,

I think you have cracked it Dan. The journalist all qualified through the Jim Murphy School of journalistic excellence.

Correspondence courses for consummate correspondents.

>Socrates @ 11.53….jouranlist?? lol

And that centre text alignment at the start. What’s that all about?

@Socrates,

Too long at the Herald !! Face/palm.

Even I got better spelling whacked into me at school. Bring back the belt. I say

As the Clown Prince of Ypographical Terrors, I have no room to talk.
But then again, I don’t make my living out of it.
We had our regular visit to the ‘It’s not it’s; it’s its’ debate a few days ago, didn’t we?
Third person impersonal possessive pronoun.
All together now. ed: not ‘altogether’.
The Ed done bad.

‘Access to exclusive reader events’ where, in Nuremberg?

A BUM churnalist wrote “redsigned”.

Me thinks someone was thinking red ensign.
Freudian slip d’ya think?

I hear the new masthead is to be a stylised depiction of a pile of shite.

Natural talent? 🙂

‘says’

That’ll teach me.

And a split infinitive to boot!

@David Torrence
Your input in the debate is clearly superfluous FAN-BOY, as your beliefs are in conflict with the principles of your specific scientific training. Sounds like you need more remedial skooling on what modern fascism entails, as you appear to be conflating reality with fantasy to suite your nefarious purpose.

Does this not bring to mind the current “Economic Freedom Fighters” in the Westminster government?

What are the general characteristic values of a fascist movement

A. It always assume itself a posture of being a movement of young people determined to undermine the authority, creating a mayhem of disrespect to others especially the older generations.

B. A seedbed of the highest forms of disorder, exaltation of force, strength, violence: slogans, symbols, costumes, insignias and military fatigue.

C. Theoretical bankruptcy, ahistorical world outlook, glorification of the past historical events, and the past is always seen as a source of inspiration to the present.

D. It always assume the most revolutionary posture more than the revolution itself. Flaborous behavior, excessively provoked as if the revolution is indebted to them.

E. The Commander in Chief, the cult of a leader. The Commander in Chief is the embodiment of the nation, of its will, and of the state. He must be obyed without question. The leader is the alpha and the omega, the blind followers have absolute discipline, sacrifice and blind obedience.

F. The worse enemy of the struggle of the working class, upon seizure of state power it always connive with monopoly capital to consolidate its class interests. Widespread persecution, killings and worst forms of exploitation and oppression of the working class.

Done anything to develop you awareness of self-identification and self-appraisal process and how they form the basis of good judgement?

I asserted that there is a new globalised Fascist movement that has gradually, in fits and starts, insinuated itself as a new normal in Western regimes and in many “developing” regimes. A central claim of the article is that the differences between old Fascism and new Fascism are almost entirely due to the fact that the original Fascism was a nationalistic creed with imperialist ambitions, while the new Fascism is an imperialist ideology and mode of governance.

I also distinguish between the banal Fascism of governance and the dramatic Fascism of rhetoric. Fascists campaign as radical revolutionaries, but rule in a way that secures and bolsters the existing social order against mass discontent.

…The new Fascism has harnessed mass disengagement but the crisis it has brought by its own success has led to the same populist right-wing explosion that was the vanguard of the old Fascism. We can now see – particularly in the US – that this is a matter of sequence, not essence. The mass embrace of combative right-wing populism is becoming ever more common, and it completes the circle so that the symmetry with old Fascism is revealed.

Kind Retards,

Proff-roading is a thong of teh pist, isn’t it?

I’ve seen it more and more down the years; the Grundiad and the Toryglyph used to get some stick in the past, but now it’s everywhere – the Bindependent, the Brutish Broadcorping Castration…

It’s a combination of worsening standards of education and that type of modern media-magnatery which says, “What the hell about accuracy – we need to get it out there, Fats!” (sorry, “fast!”).

Aye, pure quality right enough 😀

Typical lazy journalism from Michael Settle in to-day’s Herald –

“Recent figures show that Scotland’s budget deficit is almost 10 per cent, which is more than double the UK’s as a whole and the worst in Europe – bigger even than that of Greece.”

Why is unioinist propaganda regurgitated without clarification by an experienced journalist again showing his Labour credentials?

Where have all the sub editors gone?

“It’s the Herald wot dun it gov”

I took out a Herald subscription after the collapse of the Scotsman to little better than a Unionist comic. At that time in 2012 it was a quality paper with high journalistic standards even if I didn’t agree with a lot of what they published. The comments section was excellent despite their touting of the sock puppet Jezerna Roza. Since the referendum they’ve gone downhill at lightning speed and I cancelled my subscription earlier this year because it just wasn’t worth reading any more. Frankly.

FFS!
I know my spelling, punctuation and grammar are a bit iffy, but I don’t make my living with the written word.

Lochside , you nearly choked me , I demand an apology!

In the middle sixties my English teacher advised the class (2nd year) to read the Glasgow Herald as it was well written and had first class news articles.

How things have changed !

A major newspaper is due to implode soon !

Well, journalists should be very accurate when it comes to disseminating and publishing news articles. Though they’re still human,they must be very careful with the words and the news itself.
