Wikipedia: Philip Cross deletes a link to my interview with Caroline Criado-Perez on ITV ‘This Morning’ on the grounds that there’s “no reason to include this link; unsurprising IMHO, Buchanan is not as good a communicator as Caroline Criado Perez or the other participants”

A tip of the hat to Joe for spotting this, one of four assaults by Philip Cross on the J4MB Wikipedia page today. Long story short, in January 2015 I was interviewed on the popular ITV show This Morning along with Caroline Criado-Perez, who won her third Lying Feminist of the Month award in recognition of a claim she made on the show. When asked why she’d won the award previously, she did a ‘jazz hands’ thing, laughed, and said, ‘Because I lied!’ The interviewers didn’t challenge her further, because vagina. Our Wikipedia page link to the show has been removed by Philip Cross with the following justification:

No reason to include this link; unsurprising IMHO, Buchanan is not as good a communicator as Caroline Criado Perez or the other participants.

You can catch the exchanges with CC-P here. ITV titled the piece, Britain’s most controversial politician?

If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

  1. Does Mr Cross fail to realise that we don’t view the internet for his Humble Opinion?

    In fact, IMHO, his opinion is worthless!

    • Well said, Craig. The sad truth is there are so many Wikipedia editors who splash their opinion all over Wikipedia. They are shameless in their endless drive to misconstrue and mislead – they will tell you its all in the wiki guidelines (which are full of rubbish which somehow manage to be subjective to the editor’s opinion and be nonsensical simultaneously).

      • Thank you. Wiki was really only useful as a staring reference point, now they’re quickly losing the value of that function.
