Facebook really is a shower of shite. The ads are insane. So I decided to do my own investigation on this wild Friday night.

The add in the screenshot has a Dr. Fauci quote that said “if New York could do 5 million vaccines in 2 weeks” then Sturgeon could do better.
This add is paid for by @PabloOHana

Never heard of him. Quick google and that is a company for guy who used to work for the Lib Dem’s.

He’s on LinkedIn & endorsed by the senior communications manager of the cabinet office.

Who also used to work for the Lib Dem’s.
Who in turn is endorsed by the current Lib Dem digital campaign manager.

So I see an add that is a mistruth peddled by Facebook against Nicola Sturgeon & the Scottish government.

These ads that are, at least indirectly, paid for the Government Cabinet Office via the Lib Dems
All the while folk see these adds & take them for face value. I’m only investigating as there’s bugger all else to do in lockdown.

But it shows how manipulative the Unionist side are, willing to take quotes out of context to make false comparisons to try & get folk riled up
To forgo any ambiguity here’s the link to the Lib Dem’s https://whocanivotefor.co.uk/person/14781/pablo-ohana on who can I vote for (former Lib Dem Northenden ward candidate is paying Facebook to show me anti Scottish government vaccine rollout Facebook adds is, I’d say, slightly odd)
Though the guy who paid for this add mixes film & politics.

Perhaps my scepticism is misplaced but natural as “show-business” & “Liberal Democrats” does seem an odd mix.
