Every time I read or hear something downright stupid or depressing said about what happened (R4 PM interview case in point) I remind myself of that cub scout leader www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/10075376/Mother-who-confronted-Woolwich-terrorists-thought-better-me-than-a-child.html who intervened and I feel much, much better about the human race...

Oh Glamourous that made me actually laugh out loud! I've heard that Islam is lovely this time of year Wink

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 23/05/2013 21:41

I have (unfortunately) looked at some of the comments on links people have posted on FB today and I despair!

Then again, I seem to remember a paediatrician getting beat up during a mob violence incident after a paedophile had been discovered somewhere (sorry a bit vague), but mob rule is scary.

You can almost hear the pitchforks being sharpened.

missbetsy im just glad that it was her that approached and not one of the people who are responsible for the idiotic comments reposted here. can you imagine how much worse things could have been if it had been, for example, the person suggesting 'we' Hmm go to islam and burn their flags!

it is awful - the poem I mean

gillywillywoo · 23/05/2013 21:49

Someone on facebook today...

"I'm not racist and actually I don't think that we should send Muslims back to where they came from. But at least half of them should go back "

Confused
differentkindofpenguin · 23/05/2013 21:52

Saw this on Facebook today-

" not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims"

Where do you even start????? facepalm

Ezza1 · 23/05/2013 21:55

"Deport the cunts that killed are soldier"

Deport them to where? Confused

YokoUhOh · 23/05/2013 21:59

I am Shock at the photos of Enoch Powell suddenly infiltrating Facebook; do you think half these people had heard of him before today?

My cousin 'liked' a photo on the 'Britain First' page Hmm and I noticed this comment below one of the insane ranting status updates:

'i Wang on our soil ever again. Rip h.m.soldier.s Sad to think a calious action would and could happen on Brittish soil. britain needs to tighten up on homeland security and stop this tradgedy from ever happeni'

And then he just gave up, presumably.

picnicbasketcase · 23/05/2013 21:59

I'm avoiding FB, I keep going Shock at the sheer idiocy. Muslamic proper gander anyone? Confused

MynameisKeith · 23/05/2013 22:00

My Favourite status today...

"Jimmy saville the vile perv abused and raped kids for decades. So grab your pitch forks and round up anyone that runs a marathon, smokes a cigar of wears a tracksuit the bastards and kill them dead with torture."

I love my friends! :)

Doodledumdums · 23/05/2013 22:01

Luckily my FB has remained pretty stupidity free today, however I was amused to learn earlier that EDF energy have been subjected to loads of twitter abuse because of people confusing them with the EDL.

MissBetseyTrotwood · 23/05/2013 22:02

Booyhoo - exactly. What a woman.

I saw someone spell his name Eknock

IneedAyoniNickname · 23/05/2013 22:12

I saw one about the soldier being 'british born n bread' have to admit it made me chuckle

StatisticallyChallenged · 23/05/2013 22:15

There has been some of this appearing on my Facebook too...it's dire and makes me want to throw heavy blunt objects (possibly a dictionary?!) at the offenders.

poor english alert

"They say dnt paint them all with the same brush,bt ya cani help it specially when things lyk this happens.Think they need t gt everyone eh them t fuck n bk t there own country lyk"

YokoUhOh · 23/05/2013 22:17

AKiss Ecknock, as in 'EggNog' perhaps? Brilliant.

I also spotted a chihuahua making the sensitive yet incisive comment 'BNP!' on another status. I think it was a chihuahua anyway, that's what the profile pic led me to believe.

missbetsy im just glad that it was her that approached and not one of the people who are responsible for the idiotic comments reposted here. can you imagine how much worse things could have been if it had been, for example, the person suggesting 'we' go to islam and burn their flags!

Would never happen, the people who spout this shit wouldn't have the guts to stand up. Hot air, posturing and only going into situations where they know they have the upper hand.

All this is just vile. I stayed off Facebook because I just couldn't face the thought of having to delete friends however when I finally went on I was really pleased to say I had non of this, only one very young girl (U16) who commented about them being treated in hospital but she was corrected in a loving way by her mother and others, she accepted quickly she was wrong and it came from anger and fear. I can't see her making the same mistake again.
Seems the culls I have had to make before where effective in getting rid of the undesirables that had slipped through my net.
