Lying Loony Labour's Fake News

The "lying Loony" Labour party have been peddling Fake News!

"The shadow minister for the Cabinet Office has taken to social media to share some ‘truly astonishing’ news that May was apparently ‘preparing to release Ian Brady’ prior to the murderer’s death:

Only there’s a problem. It’s fake news — Trickett is circulating a fake meme. So much for Labour claims that the party champions responsible journalism…"

Re: Lying Loony Labour's Fake News

Not the only ones to peddle fake news. A nurse who was taking Nicola Sturgeon to task over her running of the Scottish NHS and the lack of an increase in nurse's wages since 2008 on a televised leader's debate was accused by one of Sturgeon's SNP cohorts of being deliberately planted in the audience on Twitter as she had been seen in an earlier broadcast of BBC's Question Time. Her comments (SNP politician) where re-tweeted verbatim by others eager to get on the outrage bus in support of the fish woman.

It turns out that the nurse was genuine and was at the leaders debate by personal invitation to ask the same question she would have asked on QT if they hadn't run out of time. Grovelling apologies all round from the SNP and all the tweets removed in the blink of an eye.

That's the same nurse who claimed she was so poor she had to go to Foodbanks. Then she was plastered all over Facebook saying she was holidaying in New York and enjoying high class food in posh restaurants.

Read my previous post - it was Fake News and libel by an SNP politician. The holiday to New York was paid for by family and friends.
