Social Media - aiding and abetting

Whitewavemark2 Stop smearing Nigel Farage! If you watch GB News you will see that he is totally against the riots and violence. This is unfair, he is a decent human being and not at all racist. The main stream media have a lot to answer for and are so far left that they have to try and blame someone else. They only have one narrative and they want everyone else to think like them. At least GB News are fair and listen to people whatever their creed or belief.

Reporting fact is not smearing.

After the murder of the little girls, Farage declared that they were killed by a Muslim immigrant.

He was entirely incorrect.

Where did he get the information?

From the rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate.

Now a question

Why would British MP get information from Andrew Tate, believe it and post this scurrilous lie, thus encouraging violence and division?

Who on earth even looks at Andrew Tates feed, apart from other hard right thugs?

Farage is disgusting.

Whitewave - thanks for keeping going in these dispiriting times,
You’re Bob on about the awful Farage

Seconded

Exactly this.

Don’t be a fool!

I'm another who thinks Farage is vile. He appeals to the worst in people whereas Mandela appealed to the best.

Apparently,there is a protest planned for our town tomorrow. Shops and pubs have been advised not to open.

Nan231 - our town is EDL tonight 😩

👏👏

It's not just what he's said and done - it's what he could be doing to calm matters, as an MP, through his networks, that he is not. All people to stay at home. Tell them he will address their issues, and so on.

He is on holiday in Hong Kong

He was away in Hong Kong, he's back here now.

Oh didn’t know that.

He’s looking pretty stupid now I think.

Whitewavemark2

Exactly this.

oh yes, Tata Madiba was no fool.

I just want him to step up and take some responsibility.

I just want him to step up and take some responsibility.

He will never ever ever do that.

Well indeed.....As if the Mail, the Telegraph, the Express, the sun, the Times are bastions of the far left! 😂

What do you think our security services have Neen doing for the past week?

and it occurs to me that SM can in fact work to the intelligence services advantage.

Of course the police and security services do this and always have. 🤔

I wouldn’t want to think my phone or social media accounts are being tapped by anyone, government or not. That is a dictatorship. Awful scenario. I thought only places like China and Russia did that sort of thing. If that is the UK you can keep it.

These are organised groups, easy to infiltrate and follow online.

They're not interested in your FB account, chatting about family, local fêtes, National Trust or craft.

Of course these dangerous groups, organising online, with the potential to cause violence apon our streets need to be followed.

If that is the UK you can keep it.

Can we have a list of hard left influencers as well?

Wasn’t it Steve Bannon who heavily financially contributed to the leave campaign?

If you worry about them, why don’t you do the work and list them? Whitewavemark2 has done it for those which most worry her (and me).

He was involved with Cambridge Analytica I think.
