ANOTHER one of pro-independence blogger Stuart Campbell's Twitter accounts has been locked.
Campbell, who is the creator of the Wings Over Scotland blog, is now tweeting under @SealandGazette after his @RevStu account was locked by Twitter.
The Wings Over Scotland website says the Sealand Gazette site "records the many reasons why Scotland can no longer afford to stay in the Union".
It comes a month after Campbell's Twitter account for a new pro-Yes party,@WingsPartyScot, was banned as soon as it was created.
The social media site said it broke rules "against managing multiple Twitter accounts for abusive purposes".

Campbell floated the idea of a Wings Party in August last year, telling The Times Nicola Sturgeon's party is "in a shambles".
“I think the SNP is a shambles at the moment. It doesn’t know what it’s doing," he told the newspaper.
He said he would start the ball rolling “if it looked like there wasn’t going to be a pro-independence majority, which I think is a very real danger".
Twitter has been contacted for comment.
Wings Over Scotland is the nation’s most-read political blog, with about 250,000 unique visitors a month.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
