People are just vile

I haven't seen that but it doesn't surprise me one bit, it's always the way I am afraid.

X is the most toxic of them all.

This is false.

Everybody gets the same comments on news articles.

Yes I agree OP. One of my colleagues was on the plane and I’ve seen multiple posts sharing his ‘story’ which is completely fake information. A fair few colleagues learnt of his passing via Facebook and The Daily Mail articles. The local news has even gone and interviewed a neighbour about him. Absolute gutter press. Hundreds of disgusting racist comments on Facebook posts. It’s been very distressing for people who had friends/family/colleagues on the flight.

This is the online world.

Racism is the norm especially on comments on news articles

I deleted my Facebook account last year never had Instagram, twitter x whatever it is. I left because I couldn't cope the utter vitriol I was seeing. I think it's horrible how some people behave online.

Never heard such rubbish!

Absolutely this. The lack of respect is appalling.

I’m on FB and haven’t seen anything disrespectful. The thing I didn’t like was the publishing of the photo of the sole survivor in his hospital bed , where’s the dignity / privacy .

Totally agree.
Some bitch put 'good' under a post. They should get done for that and any other racist or nasty remarks. Vile specimens 😡

The May Day call was because of lack of thrust and power failure, an open door wouldn’t cause that. I saw a video of a guy who was allegedly on the same plane on its last successful flight directly before the doomed flight and he said nothing was working on it - lights, steward call button, tvs, which would confirm it was struggling with power already!

I've seen them and they are vile, puns about curries and side dishes, conspiracy theories but mainly shouting he's not British he's brown. Fucking disgraceful.

Or Daily mail comment section,no matter the subject matter there is always racist comments shoehorned in.
I don't understand how out and out racist comments are allowed to stand.

Of course that's not true. The plane was still very low, an open door would not make it crash.

Don't know if it's true but I overheard someone saying the survivor opened the emergency door causing the crash. Of course that should not have been possible ..

It’s absolutely awful. I’ve been totally disgusted by some of the comments.

I often wonder what goes on in the minds of people who laugh at these jokes. Take rape jokes, for example. Is it that, deep down, they are repressing an urge to rape and abuse and the joke releases the tension?

What really sickens me is the way people like Jimmy Carr are willing to pander to such people. He made a joke about Jimmy Saville having “f*cked more minors than Thatcher.” Notice how Carr is cunning enough to get in a dig at Thatcher. You see, I’m attacking Thatcher, so I’m cool and beyond criticism. One of my pet hates is left-wing comedians who are vicious and hate-filled and cruel but get away with it because they’re on the ‘right side’. Frankie Boyle is a good example. Or look at Jo Brand, calling for battery acid to be thrown in a conservative politician’s face.

This is why I so admire P. G. Wodehouse. He manages to be hilarious without being cruel.

Have you read the comments on FB etc?
They are there, unbelievably people are liking them etc and they have their work details on their FB page and are pictured with children.

Leicestershire Live Facebook page is where they all congregate.

This is why it makes me laugh when people think there's no problem with racism these days. This was always there, its how people always felt. They're just brave enough to say it out loud now.

I haven’t seen that because I’m not on socials, but the thing that has disgusted me are the photos of the poor family members who have lost people crying with grief and some fucking vulture photographer has captured that moment. Just WHY???

How weird! I have not seen any bad comments at all. In fact, all I have seen an outpouring of sympathy.

Yes, people are vile but it sounds like your feed needs addressing.

I saw some on an Instagram post. I couldn’t believe it.

The point to note is the tolerant left is anything but. Woke lefty channels and platforms like the BBC, Sky, Ch4 news, Facebook spew out propoganda rather than news and attracts the worst. This is why they are all slowly dying.

X is circa 50/50 left and right and people can have a genuine discussion and if necessary agree to disagree.
