Sorry - it's another Facebook one. I can't decide what to do.

Someone my wife and I were friends with around 15 years ago recently connected on Facebook.

Today he's shared an EDL posting about the banning of burqas.

Before I disconnect from him, WIBU to post a comment? My draft comment so far is:

I'm trying to detect irony, without success. On the basis that it's the EDL advocating this, I reckon we should all be required to wear one. What is their stance on balaclavas? Beards? Sunglasses? Hats? To be honest, I don't want to know. Unacceptable racist propaganda.

I was thinking of unfriending a relative and went to their page. Awful islamaphobia right round Eid.
It's not worth the oxygen to convince them. Just defriend from FB and then NC comes easy.

Constantly report "help for refugees" requests. I did this and old mr "britain first" poster on my feed went quieter after a while.
