People are just vile

And as a pp said, I was disgusted by that BBC interview.

Yes. There was a Daily Mirror article on my Facebook full of racist comments. These people are just so brazen with their horrible views.

I was just about to post the same thing ….
Absolutely vile stuff online at the mo

You need to complain to the BBC first. Then only contact Ofcom once you hear back from the BBC!🙄

I totally agree!!! I left a comment on Facebook just highlighting that, what has the society come to?! There was an interview with the survivor and the vast majority of comments were about the survivor not being British and why the press is calling him British and the fact that he probably didn't speak any English...vile jokes about the whole thing...vile, just vile!

I feel like over the last few years things have gone backwards and people feel like it's absolutely fine to make racist and xenophobic remarks. I fear for the future, things aren't going in the right direction.

I haven’t seen it, but it doesn’t surprise me. Unfortunately people think they can say what they like in these comments. Sadly it shows the true nature of many.

Blimey, I've seen nothing like that on my news feeds or my local Facebook pages but I'm still not surprised. There are so many idiots and vile folk around, very little about the way some people act as keyboard warriors, or these days IRL, shocks me anymore.
There's plenty of nasty comments made on this "naice" forum, not about this but lots of other topics, so this kind of behaviour shouldn't come as a surprise.

No,not totally. Not all online marketing is driven by user pattern. Content can be unsolicited and appear on your SM. Companies opportunistically generate content and there is repetition of trending stories.

Yes, horrendous. Reams of unmodified blatantly racist responses about the survivor.

Completely agree, I’ve never complained to a media outlet before but I’m genuinely considering complaining to OFCOM about the footage on BBC news today. Appalling to film and show someone at such a deeply personal and tragic moment.

Sorry, wrong thread.

Yup, DM comments and a few on X. Really revolting views, based on ethnicity and questioning the victims right to have lived in the UK.

I have seen some absolutely hideous comments on FB but if you click on the profiles they are either as thick as mince with their XL dogs or new profiles that are there just to piss people off ! Basically people who will contribute fuck all to society !

Sorry, still having problems with typing!

11 children, not 21.

Why are people reading the comments, just because they are there you don't need to read them, some you have to click on to read anyway

People have always been horrible, it's just now they have somewhere to show off their vileness where anyone can see it.
I worked with someone whose sibling died in a big train crash. He said all the families had to go and ID the bodies and the Press were there in force. They didn't take pics of the families going in, they took them when they came out, upset, because that is what their readers wanted to see. This was in the 1980s.
Many will remember the ghoulish behaviour of many people after Princess Diana died, wanting the young princes to be put on show so they could goggle at two grieving children.
And this is why I generally prefer animals to people.

Jo Brand did not 'call for' people to throw battery acid at people (by people, read Nigel Farage). She made an ill-advised joke, yes, but she did not 'call for' people to actually do it. Remind me how many MPs have been murdered by far left extremists?

@nautys

I'm so sorry x

It’s as though people have become so detached from reality they just don’t care.

That's where screenshots and "receipt 🧾 keeping" comes in.

I know it’s awful. I looked at some comments on news articles I saw on my FB feed. Articles from BBC etc. Just bloody awful. What’s wrong with people?? 🥲

In the memorial book??

WTAF - that's beyond disgusting

"Frankie Boyle is a good example. Or look at Jo Brand, calling for battery acid to be thrown in a conservative politician’s face."

The one that gives me the heebie jeebies is Jimmy Carr. Dead eyes.

Yeah my 17yr old DD was telling me that last night. Absolutely disgusting. My ex’s cousin was on board. Why do people think that they are lesser people due to the colour of their skin? Why do people not understand that a nationality (in most countries, but certainly the case in the UK) is not acquired solely on where you are born, or the colour of your skin. Makes me angry that people will raise this when hundreds of people have lost their lives. That loss is just as great no matter what your nationality or skin colour. I came off Tiktok last year when all the Jay Slater stuff broke as I realised it was full of fake news. Fortunately for my teens both parents are very interested in politics / world affairs and being mixed race themselves they do not hold the same views of these racist arseholes.

I haven't seen anything vile, but that maybe because I'm a woke leftie and get most of my news from BBC, Sky and the Guardian.

And I don't do FB, and only really look at comments on here and on a couple of politics forums. And one of those is so woke and leftie that any vile comments would be reported and deleted by the mods before you could say missile strike.
