Neighbour sending me unacceptable videos on WhatsApp

[AlliBallyBoo]

Neighbour, generally nice older woman, perfectly civil but since the winter fuel allowance thing has taken to spouting all sorts of bigotry on Facebook r.e. immigration and immigrants etc.

All the usual stuff you can think of r.e. over here robbing pensioners, stealing jobs, grooming girls, sharia law coming to a town near you, not real refugees. Not just reposted, reposted with her own commentary peppered with the kinds of slurs you'd expect in a 70s sitcom etc. unfriend her because I just don't want to see it.

She's now taken to WhatsApp-ing me links to far right websites and tweets and sending short videos demonising immigrants and refugees etc.

I've messaged back saying I don't want to receive these types of messages and now blocked her.

Not sure what to do. Not sure if I should report her to the police, if she's sending it to me she's definitely sending it to others and whilst I'm not keen on telling tales on people this feels like it goes on unchallenged too often and is part of the reason that xenophobic rhetoric has become so commonplace.

Any thoughts?

OP’s post at 22:03 does.

I wouldn't report her to police, but I would warn her that someone might if she is sharing this on a more public forum. I also wouldn't block, I'd reply with well researched information to refute the stuff she is posting.

If she is, in fact, a lovely neighbour, perhaps consider having a chat with her to hear what she has to say. Perhaps you could provide balance.

I have a similar issue with my mum posting those kind of boomer "share if you agree <insert a thinly veiled Britain First post>" It's all bullshit but she is a Daily Mail reader. I refute every single post, and call her out every single time.

You've done all you can buy saying you don't want it and then blocking her.
If she brings up such things in conversation just say, I don't agree with you about that and don't want to discuss it. Then move the conversation on. And only speak to her in passing rather than getting into a detailed convo.

It sounds like more than an opinion though.OP said her posts are demonising immigrants At best the posts sound slanderous. .

Again, when I said 'wet' I was speaking generally - and to the OP at that, not to you. You just chose to take issue with my comment and respond.
