Don't reply. Facebook's soul aim is engagement and their algorithm has promoted this piece of shit into your timeline because they reckon it'll piss you off enough to engage with it, and then your comment will piss off this guy enough that he'll engage with that (and in the process post more anti-vax stuff which sort of defeats the purpose of what you're trying to do I imagine)
 
Block/unfriend them.

thanks all, tbh I was always gonna take the path suggested by muscovyduck but I did not realise the algorithm was that insidious so good to know, the person showed up in my feed as shared by someone from my manor who is proper down the rabbit hole, someone who was fked over by the local council and isolated, I was concerned for her sanity. they have been rehoused down the coast now but unfortunately have landed in a hotbed of deniers so like a pig in muck with all thee attention...☹️

Really feeling for you, things like this are horrible :(

:D

Those are British plates, aren't they? It's so weird seeing a non-American car done up like that. But also good to see the unfriendly reception it got.

Am pretty sure that was the clown car I saw loitering around central London a few weeks ago, making off from the vicinity of an anti-lockdown/mask zombie uprising.
 
I reckon i saw 30% of folk in Sainsbury’s tonight not bothering to wear a mask.

A mix of ages from 20 to 60 so some fully protected by jabs and some not at all - assuming they had them. The hapless chap on the door reckoned they all had exemption cards (I only saw 1 lanyard visible) but I would regard that as statistically unlikely or “bollocks” for short, given we know how easy they are to get hold of.

I could actually claim exemptions being as I have been living with COPD (emphysema) for 7 years now, am also classed as severely mentally ill, and am halfway through an autism assessment. But I choose to wear a mask whenever I'm on public transport or indoors, etc.

I have met one genuinely exempt person, a patient at the vax centre who breathes through a hole in his neck. I think the number who are truly exempt is tiny and am furious at those who could wear a mask but don't.
 
Something that does proper infuriate me - well, I suppose the whole thing is infuriating, but something I've noticed recently is the way that any delay to the government's "roadmap out of lockdown" gets seized on as proof that A-HA, OF COURSE they never really wanted to end lockdown at all, so this MUST have been the plan all along. Rather than, you know, pandemics being difficult to plan for and unexpected events forcing people to do things they'd hoped to be able to avoid or whatever.

Or it could be dickhead antivaxxers are spreading it requiring a lockdown extension. :mad:
 
The cancellation of freedom day has led predictably to a surge in sharing of weird science
and anger on social media today
the woman I spoke of upthread is having a field day....
one post she shared featured some astounding statistical analysis that ‘ proved’ vaccines have killed more than covid itself. Another drum she is banging relates to the footballer. who collapsed in the euro 21 tournament which was of course the result of his vaccination. Surprisingly another conspiracy theorist told her to stop spreading lies to which her response was that denials in the mainstream media could not be trusted. this was too much so I jokingly suggested the whole story could well be a false flag, or holographic illusion thinking this might make her reset her thinking, but it backfired and she now thinks this scenario is a real possibility....🥺

Never under-estimate the stupidity of conspiracy theorists.
 
I see a bunch of covid-deniers harassed Nick Watt from Newsnight yesterday (video all over Twitter) and this seems to have upset a lot of journalists a great deal (especially the fact that there is a line of police there completely ignoring the poor guy being chased down the street).
yeah I saw this shared on soc media as well, the poster was expressing delight and saying it was a step in the right direction.....
