So tonight I've noticed an interesting pattern relating to #BothVotesSNP that's worth flagging.

I've spotted several, apparently fake pro-SNP accounts, all based outside of Scotland, all using weird language. Buckle up...

Thread

Here's 'Noah' in London. 'Noah' advocating a 'savior [sic] leader'? Really? Doesn't that language seem odd to any reasonable person?

But wait, there's more: here's Monica, a London based socialist advocating for #BothVotesSNP

"make your destiny" - Really?

And here is, er, 'Dawn' or possibly Jack in Cambridge, also advocating #BothVotesSNP

"Don't let anyone interfere your decisions!" - Really?

And 'David' in Wales really getting behind #BothVotesSNP

I'm starting to read these in Borat's voice.

And 'Michelle' in Birmingham. She likes #BothVotesSNP too.

"Vote #SNP for supporting Scotland's independence." This doesn't sound like a native English speaker.

And finally 'Flora' in Bristol.

Make brighter outlook for your country! Very nice!

Now, can anyone explain to me why several apparently fake accounts outside of Scotland would advocate for SNP/SNP? Bearing in mind that AMS, and the pro-independence benefits of voting SNP/Alba have been explained widely now.

It reeks of #77thBrigade or some similar unit.

So tell me this; what does that tell you about #BothVotesSNP?

Do you trust these fake accounts over the widely shared electoral evidence offered by people you've followed for years?
