Her desperate opportunism to be seen to side with anything that might seem 'radical' ( or perhaps to sell articles to the Guardian after all what can a poor girl do?) led her to champion this dick. Her original article explained the rise of hackers which included Weev as :
" They are in their teens and 20s; they grew up in the Bush, Blair and Brown years and came of age just as the financial crash of 2008 swept away the socioeconomic justification for Anglo-American imperialism. The online culture that they helped create believes deeply in transparency and, to that culture, digital activists who risk everything for the public's "right to know" are heroes."
Bless.
