Let's face it, with the apalling standard of journalism not just prevalent but actively encouraged in the press these days, with the sole purpose of selling advertising space, the NUJ standing up in support of someone making things up is exactly what you'd expect. The British press other and news media are an absolute disgrace these days, even where some of the formerly more reputable and upstanding brands are concerned.

It's actually laughable that they stated "It is outrageous that  commercial meddling has led the Herald to sack a respected columnist" when commercial meddling is exactly why people like Spiers and Haggerty even have a job. The only reason they get to write anything is because of the lowlifes who eat up the shite they peddle.
