Oh dear, how sad, Counterspin is dead.

The great Crusaders exposed as lying cheating pedo-supporters. They hardly lasted a year before Parker put up the closed sign, what losers. But I have to hand it to Annette Curran what a trend she started, stalking and hate-sites, what a sick minded individual she is - daring to call herself a 'right thinking Nzer.' Or even implying that she could think. Then along came the megalomaniac kent Parker, busting to be recognised for a crystal like intelligence that ultimately shattered by it's collision with reality and his own slowly awoken awareness that he was nothing more than a fool who had launched a campaign that could not survive the truth.

So that's what did it folks, the truth. The truth undid their lies and their willingness to stretch the truth into unrealistic shape, their thoughtless mantras, their nonsensical cut and pastes that made no sense and weren't based on facts. Their arguments that collided with one another, such as calling for justice for the family and victims while in the next breath attacking the already lost daughter whose father would kill her, attacking the mother that had been driven to bed by the misery her life had become from a sick husband who needed to finally destroy that which he had been working to destroy for years. Even in death the hate-siters could feel no sympathy for Margaret and Laniet short of generalised words that never accounted for what the two women had been through and how they would continue to be maligned after their deaths by those that sought to 'preserve' their memories and seek 'justice' for them by calling one a lying prostitute and the other deranged.

Perhaps the last chapters of the Bain tragedy are being written, that for the good of us all justice has been righted, compassion and common sense have defeated hate and lies and prejudice. Justice has risen above spite and bitterness, above the abuse of children and the 'need' for it to be hidden. There remains work to be done, but knowing that the Counterspin site is wrecked and burning is another step to restoring the quality of life that came from hard work and honest toil, the willingness (in the old adage) to giving a bloke a fair go.
