Potholes and Bots

One of the pitfalls of a digital campaign is that you can often see through it. Hat-tip to Sean Ferguson and Patrick Woodside, who pointed out that there was something funny about Anas Sarwar’s Pothole Enthusiasts.

No sooner had Anas had declared: “It’s time to clean up the SNP’s mess and get the basics right. I will fix our roads with a £350 million pothole fund to repair nearly 5 million potholes across Scotland” – than a bevvy of beauties chimed in with their support.

Here’s Louise:

This is more dumb than dystopian, but I’m going to start collecting the Beautiful Bots homespun wisdom, as Louise says: “Let’s take the time to appreciate the beauty around us.”

    All USA based (allegedly)
    All profiles created February 2026
    …. And all of them digitally created.

    Typical Labour incompetence … Couldn’t make it more obvious if they tried.

  2. John Wood says:

    Ah that must be why the Highland Council inexplicably turned up in our Wester Ross village yesterday with a huge machine to fix some longstanding potholes. Never seen that before

  3. John Wood says:

    Thanks for that. Good to laugh sometimes

  4. Patrick Woodside points out that this is true of Sarwar’s campaign paying for Bots on Instagram and FaceBook as well as X.

    Philip K Dick’s 1968 sci-fi novel coined the phrase ‘Do robots dream of electric sheep?’ I wonder if Sarwar & Co dream of electric voters?

  5. Jan Lewis says:

    It never fails to amaze me how low Sarwar , and Russell Findlay too with their prolific lies constantly write on SM every day. I truly hope he loses his seat in the May Election. I believe he is in a list seat. That may see him going down the pan. He and Jabba. That thing is evil . We need to get our independence sooner the better
