David Calvert, I don't understand ...

why he is calling for the goverment to officially say he is not 'JV'.

Surely thats obvious, JV is in prison and he is giving interviews at home, surely these yobbos can work that out?!

Nope - they are too utterly thick. There are Facebook groups calling for Jon Venables to be "outed" which are STILL naming David Calvert as JV. Half of the thickos saying they know this because they "received it by text" - must be true then.

Have actually closed my FB account as am so sick of the unpoliced groups.

Wow, people are well, unbelieveable.

Sadly, JollyPirate is spot on.

I have also closed FB account. Sick of numpties.

LilyBolero · 11/03/2010 10:19

I have been told by people I know that he IS JV, because 'I got a text from someone in Liverpool, and they should know....'

Usually followed by 'scum like him should be tortured and hanged, prison is too good.'

Poor bloke. (DC)

I dont understand these FB groups. I have never seen any of them, I've had no links sent, no one has mentioned anything in their status and I've not come across any while browsing. So where are you lot seeing them? (I know that sounds like I'm looking for them, goes without saying that I'm not but am interested in why you felt you had to close your accounts because of them)

dolphin13 · 11/03/2010 10:25

I've closed my fb account as well. Don't suppose it will help but I feel like I've made a stand.

llareggub · 11/03/2010 10:27

I've not seen any, either. Or had texts. I've seen lots of ridiculous tweets, on the other hand. There are some very stupid people out there.

JollyPirate · 11/03/2010 10:28

I joined a FB group via MN which is trying to keep tabs on some groups but to be honest FB is not dealing with the problem in any proactive way - instead they wait for them to be reported and then shut them down. What they SHOULD be doing is making the groups go through a process before they can just place the group "out there". That way some of the more idiotic ones wouldn't see the light of day.

fortunately I don't appear to move in the kind of circles that would joint these types of groups, but the world is full of idiots.

squashedfrogs · 11/03/2010 10:37

I don't know anyone who has joined these groups on FB but unfortunately DP & I have both had one of the texts each. The people that sent them to us should know better to be honest. It's very sad that there's the mentally to blindly believe what is sent to you and forward it on without having any ounce of proof that what it says is correct.

sparkle09 · 11/03/2010 11:25

i had the text message last night by my MIL! who really should know better.

i know we will always get them in a situation like this, but i really hate witch hunts, they are so dangerous. i tend to not not tkae much notice of them and i never join stupid groups on facebook. only ones that have a real connection to my life.

i really feel for david calvert and his family.

mayorquimby · 11/03/2010 11:56

Because the type of people clammering for him to be named so that they can show how brilliantly moralistic they are and how much they hate 'paedos' and 'nonces' are also the type of single-celled morons who are incapable of logic. They think that the british system has given JV his new secret life about 20 miles from where the murder took place and they also defeat all logic with claims of knowing a bloke from liverpool so it's definitely true and if you disagree it's because you're just a government sheep.

LilyBolero · 11/03/2010 11:59

Besides all the obvious points (DC is not in prison, JV is, he has PROVED he is NOT JV), do these people REALLY think that the name they would have chosen is David Calvert - when JV was released from prison, the Director of Public Prosecutions was one David Calvert-Smith...

Would be like giving him a new identity now of 'Jack Straw'.

Clarissimo · 11/03/2010 12:06

Yet agin I have to say I agree with MQ.

Luuckily Dh and I have had not texts or facebook groups sent, I suspect people know theyd get shiort shrift if they bothered.

Am yet to fathom the -he-murdered-it-terrible-so-I-will-murder-him mentlaity tbh

These are the same people who attacked a paedatrician because they mixed up their words and thought he was a paedophile. People turned up at the old home of childkillers near me like they expected them to be there. FFS

Remotew · 11/03/2010 13:37

I've noticed a couple of my friends have joined the group, 'justice for the Bulger family' fair enough, but haven't seen a mention of DC or had a text.
