In September 2021, BBC Scotland’s Glenn Campbell just loved the above and tweeted it enthusiastically.
Last week, Campbell fell of his bike and tweeted these images:
Comment from Humza Yousaf or, indeed anybody? Nothing at all.
We’ve had plenty goes at Campbell but we’re taking no pleasure in this because we’re grown-up.

I confess it is the only time I’ve ever felt any sympathy toward Campbell, as he wasn’t “Shitehawk” on this occasion but a cyclist who came a cropper, although I still suspect he still hasn’t mastered plugging in earphones (You can do the adult stuff all you like John), but it jostled memory of my own wallop with a bike when working in Glenrothes, not Glenn’s fitness aspect but actual commuting.
Hanging anything on the front handlebars seemed not too clever, so I bought an aluminium rear frame from Halfrauds.
Logic escaped me why I hung the alloy frame in a plastic bag on the front handlebars and set off in excitement to fit it at home, in full knowledge of the corners involved, and yep you guessed it I misjudged one.
The very last corner before getting home the front forks met the immovable aluminium – I don’t know what was going through my head as I rotated around bent spokes still firmly attached to the pedal clips, but I do know the gravel and broken lenses did when the rotation ceased…
Shit happens Glenn, but perhaps you might consider not broadcasting it….
I know, I know, but I’m an not an adult, I’m officially a grumpy OAP…

If these were tweeted by Campbell himself , does that mean that he had nobody to take the pics ?
Glenn no-mates ? Needs to get away from the BBC !

Relying on the SNHS. The BBC slag off constantly.

Mr Campbell is not as smart as he thinks he is , did he really fall off a bike or was he just at Conservative Party that got out of hand

It’s recorded on the camera of the vehicle he cycled into, he wasn’t looking where he was going. At least that was posted somewhere, if genuine and no reason to think it’s fake. Sick of seeing his bloody face quite frankly, it’s a bit gross.
