Nutball City Limits

If there’s one recent piece of first rate investigative blogging that deserves a much higher profile at the moment then it has to be Blairwatch’s ‘outing’ of Nicholas Kollerstrom, a prominent ‘9/11 truther’ (i.e. conspiraloon) as a confirmed Holocaust denier.

If the shots get any cheaper…

It seems that Iain Dale is getting in on the who’s flying what where angle, even if his efforts, like those of his oppo, Shane Greer, are actually pretty risible: Journalists were quick to point out that instead of flying on a British Airways jet decorated with the […]
