Witch Finder General Denounces Witch Hunts.

Exposing hypocrisy by Beatrix Campbell OBE is easy but is worth doing anyway. Today she writes:
When David Cameron says "sorry" for the witch-hunting section 28 passed by the vengeful Tories in 1988
Now if there is one person who shouldn't be accusing others of 'witch hunting' it is surely Beatrix Campbell. Witch hunting is often used as a metaphor, as Campbell uses it here or as when it was to describe the McCarthyite anti communist accusations. However Bea Campbell wasn't simply involved in metaphorical witch hunts, she literally claimed to be uncovering conspiracies of people carrying out ritualistic abuse in order to please Satan!

When lunatics like Campbell aren't even taken seriously by readers of the Grauniad, you have to wonder why media outlets treat her as a serious commentator.

They've reopened them now.
