WP Archives 05 Oct 2012: Toxic Tomo's Tenious Tat

So, I like alliteration. Forgive me.

I've been rather amused by Alex Thompson's latest blog on Rangers.

His unhealthy obsession with the biggest football club in Scotland continues with a desperate attempt to make a court case against Rangers former owner Craig Whyte current and relevant.

As 'Gers fans on Twitter questioned the relevance of his blog, Toxic replied that Whyte might still be involved in Rangers.

It's not the first time it's been suggested, but mostly by John "wherrs the deeds" Brown, and David Leggat.

Despite lots of bluster, and an admirable persistence in repeating the claims, neither have offered a shred of evidence.

Neither does Toxic.

It's interesting that Toxic and Leggat hate each other's guts, as their blogs are at times two sides of the same coin.

Both like their wild unsubstantiated claims and both have an obsession with Craig Whyte.

Toxic takes it further by repeating the curiosities previously blogged by Paul McConville and Rangers Tax Case over Whyte's various directorships and "identities".

It's hardly groundbreaking stuff.

That becomes crystal clear to anyone familiar with companies house information, and director searches.

Try it yourself.

Within 5 minutes you will find many directors with a strange tendency for providing inconsistent information.

Why they do it I don't know, but they do.

So we have a blog telling nothing new that feels a year out of date, and the author somehow immensely proud of his efforts.

Please remember this lazy amateurism the next time you see Toxic reporting from a war zone.

Bill.
