Why aren’t you banning the far-right agitators?

I don’t think the issue is the far right exactly, it’s that mumsnet is very clearly being targeted by Russian destabilisation campaigns and isn’t doing anything about it.
It may be a combination of “normal people” picking up “controversial” talking points from elsewhere or direct attacks. There’s clearly been an uptick since the election. All the posts on very decisive topics should be investigated.

haha.... reminds me of some people I know out in the real world who now say they didn't vote for Brexit.
Yes, you effing did! You told me at the time and you were proud of it. Don't rewrite history!

I just laugh at them.

I'm noting some similarities with pre-election narratives now. "I've always voted Labour but...." has morphed into "I'm a Muslim but...."

So did I.

That one pinged my spidey senses too so I reported it.

The thread about the husband feels off but not sure what I can report it on. New user or namechanger as well.

Excellent. Some good calling out of 'facts' on that thread but it shouldn't have stood that long.

It’s gone.

MNHQ ought now really to shut down the thread about 'Tommy's' film. I note they deleted a link to it. It's really irresponsible to encourage people to watch it.

Yes, I have misunderstood.

Apologies to you, @ChockysChimichanga

Thanks.

Yes, that was what I meant. The thread has now been removed.

I just realised *ChockysChimichanga *commented earlier on this thread, I think we have misunderstood this post.

Agh! Edited as I think I misunderstood. I think you mean you have spotted another thread that is trying to stir things up and reported it rather than reported this one! So sorry!

This thread has been posted on 'site stuff' in relation to moderation of inflammatory content. It responds directly to the incendiary posts and barely concealed racism (at least more overt than its usual covert tone) infesting this site over the past week.

But perhaps you didn't read it.

Yet another thread trying to stir things up reported.

Also not wishing to derail the thread but it seems extraordainary to me that no-one has actually been killed yet

Hope that the man in Belfast makes a full and swift recovery

.

There are posters spouting bile about that incident too. Though tbf MNHQ zapped instantly.

@SerafinasGoose Totally agree. I used to use old school Bulletin Boards where there were the most bizarre and batshit postings.
It is nothing in comparison to the out and out racism and nastiness on MN this last week.
I fear for some of my family and I am beyond shocked that my DDs workplace is closing tomorrow because of a plan by ignorant thugs picking that area to bombard. I am just glad they have the foresight to close the offices and tell everyone to WFH and I hope she has an office to go back to after.

MN has turned into a bigoted racist cesspit and no we should not be talking to the thugs about 'their concerns'. Not whilst they are destroying communities.

Yes, I am aware of the threats against immigration lawyers tomorrow as well. Scary times.

Well, if this is a minority sentiment even on Mumsnet then we are in more trouble than even I feared. DH (a lawyer) has just told me that apparently the police are aware of a plan for more ‘action’ tomorrow night across the country with immigration lawyers being targeted.

I am terrified for my loved ones, and especially friends and colleagues of colour in this climate. As for the internet, I'm a hardened www user and frequented the old-style chatrooms, which attracted all manner of very disturbed people and behaviour, and make even AIBU look like baby-play by comparison.

But this has got beyond even me this week. I'm off work and taking DC to the local lido this afternoon (thankfully nowhere near a city centre). Right now I feel that I need to get my head right out of this space and have something of a digital detox.

Awful, awful times.

👏

I was just popping on to say I'm feeling like it's got a lot worse again and I'm feeling like I'm done. Then I read this. Thank you x

Well said, Serafina.

We often don’t agree @SerafinasGoose but on this occasion you’re spot on.
