It is easy to take a small quote such as that credited to Shona and to present that out of context.
With the majority of these articles, the first and the second, I think trying to claim that this is then misquoting or taking out of context in such a massive scale is not possible. The second article has the reviewed quote from Shona and yet further quotes which hail a barrage of insults towards Martin being given the OBE.
Why should these insults be fired at him, the man has done no wrong and does not deserve what is being said.
