JOURNALIST Andrew Neil has been forced to delete a social media post falsely claiming that Humza Yousaf would be entitled to £52,000 a year after stepping down as First Minister.Neil wrote:"Devolution might not have done much for ordinary Scots but it's been a dripping roast for Scotland's political elite. Take Humza Yousaf. He was First Minister for 13 months on an annual salary of almost £177,000 - more than the Prime Minister - of which £104,500 was for being FM .
Professor Steve Peers commented:"Spreading falsehoods online is often attributed to random anonymous trolls. But in this case a huge untruth was tweeted by Andrew Neil." She went on: “We have water in public ownership in Scotland unlike the disaster south of Border where 19 water companies, most owned by foreign companies, have reduced your rivers to a slew of sewage.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
