Special edition: Anti-SNP troll accounts run by senior Tory councillors
The Stooshie is technically on holiday, but we wanted to bring you a special episode on our unmasking of two senior Conservative councillors as the puppet-masters behind anti-SNP troll accounts on social media. Who they are, what it means, what’s next. And don’t be fooled into thinking this is a local story for local people — this is a story as much about what happens in local government, about how that shapes all our lives, and about the nature of public discourse, as it is a story about an embattled council in the east of Scotland.
