She’s always been a Tory but dislikes this current flavour of charlatans. Some may also remember her flogging pay day loans a few years back, hardly a left winger’s wet dream.

The real leader of the opposition to some receives a warning of what she can expect now from someone who went through the same thing herself.

If Carole Cadwalladr is applauding you it's a sign you've probably gone too far.
Leave. Though, defining ourselves by binary decisions made 7 years ago is daft. There are many fantastic journalists, but I don't think she is one. Spread mistruths and gossip about Russia and the vote.
A more shining example of EUanon you couldn't find.
I gather Banks v Cadwalladr appeal hearing is this week
Carole C is one of the good guys and Carol V has got fantastic tits for her age 👍
She lied and spread conspiracy theories, but I suppose if it's the right kind of conspiracy theories, that's okay?
Not at all. There are plenty of journalists and authors I admire who voted differently, or very likely did (for none of us really know..). I dislike her cos I think she doesn't tell the truth, spreads wild conspiracy theories and tried to undermine a vote.
Banks seems a pretty obnoxious character too, but that doesn't mean you can just spread falsehoods.
But that's exactly what you're doing - Carole Cadwalladr is a "remoaner" so "she doesn't tell the truth, spreads wild conspiracy theories and tried to undermine a vote". You do this quite often - accuse someone, sometimes rightly, of having a blinkered point of view while revealing that you're just the same as them, but from the opposite viewpoint. Objectively speaking, the only one of the three things you accuse Ms Cadwalladr of doing which can be said to be correct is the last one - the other two are just your, biased, take on the situation.
I haven't used those words at all. She has endlessly spread debunked conspiracy theories about how 'Russia bought Brexit' etc. All entirely unproven. And she admitted that what she said about Arron Banks wasn't true (what he sued her for) and she was part of a campaign to try and reverse a referendum.
These are things I'm saying about her, not everyone who voted that way - that's you putting words in my mouth. There are plenty of journalists I admire that voted remain, the two newspapers I read most often ran editorials encouraging it (Times and Western Mail). The issue is I think she is largely full of shite. 🤷
Why do you’d think I put that bit in quotation marks? It’s exactly what you said in an earlier post in this thread. Your “debunked” claims about Russia and Brexit are still up for debate I’d say and this piece shows that what you called lies are a lot more nuanced than that

Wait, what, I never said that in this thread!
No, there is no evidence for it, you will find all you like on the internet just like arch trumpers will find things about electoral interference but it's not true. Which does help illustrate the reason why journalists spreading such stuff is a reason to be critical of them.
I have a lot of time for Carole Cadwalladr. She is a campaigner for truth and transparency, Banks not so much. She has also been trolled relentlessly and unjustifiably.
The case hinged on what Carole meant (in an unscripted TED Talk) in one somewhat vague sentence. She says her mind was on pointing out Banks had lied about the number of his meetings with Russian state actors. Banks LOST. He's on the hook for millions in costs. That is why he's appealing. In all this I know where my sympathies lie.
Far too much plastic surgery going on
Dreadful tory
Well, Carole Cadwalladr is having to pay Arron Banks £35,000 in damages..
Conspiracy theories are fun until they cost you money and reputation I suppose
