(18,402 posts)2. Good zinger, but it apparently was not from Wiggins
Although the exchange has been retweeted thousands of times, the reply had not come from Wiggins but @MrColmQuinn
@DavidAllenGreen tweeted: Supposed Morgan/Wiggins exchange the latest example of the willful delusion of Twitter crowds, RTing what they want to believe is true...
And at @iamdanw added: No, Wiggins didn't say that to Piers. That's still a fake Shell website. That koala is shopped. Yes, that's a photo of a milkyway chocolate.

I don't see the relevance of facebook posts as some sort of media, it's a gossip site.
