#FactCheck: Politics blogger Wings Over Scotland claimed that the SNP was supporting organisations that want to reduce the age of consent to 10. We fact-checked this, giving it our lowest rating of FFS, for baseless claims. https://theferret.scot/claim-snp-funding-paedophile-charter-groups-ffs/

Claim SNP funding groups lobbying to lower age of consent is FFS

The Wings Over Scotland blog claimed the SNP was supporting groups who want to lower the age of consent to 10 years old. This is completely false.

#FactCheck: We came to this rating as lowering the age of consent to 10 years old is not mentioned in any of the documents cited as evidence, and is not supported by any of the organisations mentioned by the Wings blog.

#FactCheck: The SNP is also not supporting any organisations who are lobbying for the age of consent to be lowered to 10.
