Talk:Caroline Feraday

Frankly I don't think that repeating Twitter exchanges on Wikispooks adds to the sum of relevant knowledge about Lockerbie or the admitted gross (and officially suppressed/obfuscated) incompetence of Alan Feraday. IMHO it tends to trivialise the issues themselves. I've come close to similar observations elsewhere too. I would far prefer we stick to facts and informed speculation than indulge in petty ego-parades. Caroline MAY be a suitable subject for Wikispooks - though unless and until she wades in on something of substance and relevance to Wikispooks I doubt it. So I suggest this page be deleted. Comments please? --Peter P (talk) 08:14, 19 February 2014 (GMT)

Bearing in mind that Caroline Feraday and Mark Lewis initiated this Twitter exchange by attacking me and The Ecologist for the article "Flight 103: it was the Uranium" published on 6 January 2014, Caroline has waded in with something of substance and relevance to WikiSpooks, Peter P.

The Twitter exchange began on 4 February 2014 and quickly developed into a discussion of whether in 1993 Lord Chief Justice Taylor had actually banned Alan Feraday from appearing as an expert witness in future trials such as the Lockerbie bombing trial (as the BBC had reported in 1995).

On 5 February 2014, Caroline Feraday tweeted:

@BerntCarlsson @colinwforster @MarkLewisLawyer @the_ecologist @BBCScotlandNews "The BBC were sued for that and had to apologise on air."

Caroline refuses to elaborate further but the fact is that the BBC report still maintains LCJ Taylor banned Alan Feraday in 1993, as does The Guardian ("Evidence that casts doubt on who brought down Flight 103") and Gareth Peirce ("The Framing of al-Megrahi").

So (as per AfD debates on Wikipedia) I say Keep.--Patrick Haseldine (talk) 12:29, 19 February 2014 (GMT)

Were the BBC sued or not? Presumably this is fairly easily verified, in which case it needn't be a matter of conjecture. I don't see that Caroline Feraday's tweets/opinions are of much interest either way. Is there any suggestion or evidence that she has inside knowledge? Unless this is the case, or unless I've missed something else, I go for Delete. Robin (talk) 13:48, 19 February 2014 (GMT)
