johnnie x Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Can't link but tweeted "Disturbing reports of people being turned away from an Annan polling station by burly blokes if they say they dont support a certain party" D&G offical: No burly blokes outside Annan. Officers and Plice visitng frequently No complaints re canvassers (complete with picture of said station) Pretty low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 It isn't just low: for a party leader to tweet an unfounded rumour like that is embarrassing. Heaven knows why she thought it would be a good idea. Thankfully it has now been thoroughly debunked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie x Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Politician and Ex-BBC journalist so verification of sources isn't really required.

popkean1314foreva Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 No one among facebook friends has noticed anything of note in Annan when they have cast their vote , everyone was friendly and polite . The only controversy appears to be someone climbed the town hall biulding and placed a vote Emma (SNP) Harper in the arms of Robert the Bruce .

Heaven knows why she thought it would be a good idea.Thankfully it has now been thoroughly debunked. It's the same tactic as the referendum, plant the seed and get people to jump to conclusions, by the time the lie is quashed it's too late. It's the tactic used by UK government time and time again, it's wrong but what's even worse is the amount of thick s who buy into it.
