To think Goodbye EU on facebook

Is one of the nastiest pages I have seen.
So today I saw a post of Facebook shared by a good friend concerning the Grenfell Towers fire. It was basically blaming it all on Labour. The original post was a mix of lies and half truths but OMG the replies. Calling JC and his supporters communist Cunts etc etc. Many posters believed RBKC was Labour controlled council and came up with all sorts of lies to support the case that Labour is the problem. Lots of racists comments too.
So today Diane Abbott is in the firing line calling her all the usual insults. Fat racist thick. etc etc
Aibu to think that this page is filled with hypocritical right wing bigots who need to not believe everything that is posted on this nasty page.

Agree with pp.
Sometimes I don't get why so many people keep this type of company if they disagree so much. I've definitely known some scum bags with disgusting views, but they disgust me so much I can't bring myself to spend any time with them or let them contact me. Often they start off like normal people, but over time show their true self.
Really though, bigots have no reasoning, can't be told anything and will only listen to something that supports their views. Well, that's like a lot of people I suppose, but with bigots it seems different I guess because their views are so dangerous when they're on pages like the one you describe.

To add - not saying anybody is wrong for keeping those types of friends when they disagree just that I don't get it. There are things everybody does that others don't get and to some me being able to cut those people out so easily is probably something they don't get.

Tbh on him I think he saw in on his wall and just blindly shared. I am disappointed though as I thought he might do his own research before sharing unsubstantiated stuff. I don't have any problem with people thinking different to me.
I just get frustrated by lies but I suppose facebook is full of it.
