DH reposted one of those chain status things about the government banning the word christmas because it was offensive to minorities and that british people should be able to celebrate our religion and cultures without worrying about upsetting minorities and we should be proud of being British etc.

Any my sister has just uploaded a status saying "nobody is banning christmas, think some people need to stop believing everything they read in the sun".

This is blatently a passive aggressive dig at DH. AIBU to call her up on it and tell her to delete it?

Lol. Sister was right!

fluffytowels · 28/11/2011 18:30

I wrote on my nephew's status that he was being embarrassingly stupid when he reposted that no England shirts were allowed in pubs.

YABU. And your DH should grow up Angry

Odd first post.

yers .....

I'm with your sister. He is stupid if he believes all that shite.

I went one further and called someone who posted it a racist after the 'send em all back home' comments.

This week alone I have deleted 4 people for copy and pasting it along with another one that has a picture of a letter about gas/electric top ups that's started doing the rounds!

wonder if troll OP will come back....

Pakdooik · 28/11/2011 18:32

Your sister is right on this. YABU

bushymcbush · 28/11/2011 18:32

YABU. Good on your sister for having the balls to point out the error of his ways.

I would be soooooo embarrassed if my dh posted that shite.

ThatVikRinA22 · 28/11/2011 18:34

oh dear...

i have solved this problem by hitting the delete friend button whenever someone posts anything that ends with the words "repost this if....."

most of them have BNP mentality.

sorry OP but i think your sister has the edge on this one!

SantaDesperatelySeeksSedatives · 28/11/2011 18:34

YABU. I hate those poxy chain status thingies. Load of old cobblers and quite frankly your DH needed telling so.

YABU - I have deleted FB friends who are repeated offenders of reposting this sort of bullshit.

Out of interest, what paper do you and your DH read?

Onemorning · 28/11/2011 18:35

YABU.

LoveBeingAFirework · 28/11/2011 18:35

Yabu your sister is right (and probably a mnetter) your dh was a fool for posting it.

Besom · 28/11/2011 18:36

YABU - good for your sister.

Proudnscary · 28/11/2011 18:36
  1. Your sister is right

HeidiHole · 28/11/2011 18:36

MrsTerryPratchett · 28/11/2011 18:38

I am tempted to say YANBU to break the only unanimous MN thread I HAVE EVER SEEN. However YABU, imaginary sister is right.

Tmesis · 28/11/2011 18:39

YABU. What squeaky and Trills and everyone else said.

I think I like your sister.

Anniegetyourgun · 28/11/2011 18:45

Facebook is evil.

And, what they all said.

lambethlil · 28/11/2011 18:48

Yep, I'm with your sister.

StealthPenguin · 28/11/2011 18:49

YABU - the post in question is bigoted, racist and tells people to "fuck off back to your own country". I don't like that kind of attitude in the slightest, and have made comments on whoever reposts these bloody ridiculous chain-letters.

LineRunnerSaturnalia · 28/11/2011 18:51

I think your sister was very restrained.

And it's The Sun. Not the sun.
