Political Scrapbook is a left wing political blog widely known as "Political Crapbook" because it is not renowned for accuracy. It does not subscribe to the Editor's Code of Conduct that guarantees standards of reportage in mainstream newspapers. It specializes in malicious personal attacks, slander and gossip from amateur informants.
It supports the Labour party, EU membership, unlimited immigration, high taxation and the censorship of views seen as "non politically correct" which are labelled "hate-speech". It is broadly apologist for Islam, downplays Islamic terrorist attacks, and demonizes conservatives as the "far-right". Instead of rational or factual discussion it relies on tactics such as accusing opponents of "ranting" or "stirring up hate" while featuring photoshopped pictures of them standing next to Hitler.
It includes a lot of LGBT propaganda and ideology without scrutiny or analysis.
Political Scrapbook is edited by Laurence Durnan,[1] who stated he set the site up "to make life difficult for the right".[2]
