Annoying things people write on Facebook

[Hedgecutter]

Mothers everywhere teaching everybody about the dangers of giant hogweed despite not actually knowing the differences between hogweed and the 'killer' cow parsley along the verge of their nearby road. 

Scrolls of Helen Lovejoy-level replies to every post.

I was previously blissfully ignorant of the fact that folk confused the two. Then one day Mrs B warned the kids of the horrific burns they would get from a plant which was growing abundantly in areas that are maintained by the council and walked by kids to and from school. It really didnt sit right with me that this danger would be allowed to go unchecked, but as I am not a horti fucking culturist, I thought I'd best double check.

Aye, cow parsley.

Although it involves a genuine example of Giant Hogweed, I quite like this example of councils attempting to put the mothers of Facebook at ease.

Youd think they were triffids the nick of people.

Had to stem inject them as part of a non-native invasive species removal.

It's pretty surreal walking thru a 40m square patch of them towering above you, always feel like I'm in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

My break for freedom begins...

How will I cope without being told how or why to wear a mask, why I shouldn't vote for Trump or what my cousin's wife had for lunch? Only time will tell.

Borrowed from friend but not far off the mark

I'm NOT racist...
I AM proud to be British....
And just before you all spit your dummy out, read this all the way through!

This whole racial shit is getting on my nerves!
Just seen this on a friends wall, think it’s spot on...

I have been wondering about why whites are racists, and no other race is?

There are British Africans, British Chinese, British Asian, British Turks, etc, etc, etc.

And then there are just British. You know what I mean, plain ole English people that were born here. You can include the Welsh, the Scottish and the people who live off our shores of Great Britain.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you. So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have Muslim only areas.

You have the Muslim Council of Great Britain.

You have Black History Month.

You have swimming pools for Asian women.

You have Islamic banks for Muslims only.

You have year of the dragon day for Chinese people.

If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.

If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black Britain or Miss Asia, but any colour can be in the Miss UK.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.

There are over 200 openly proclaimed Muslim only schools in England. Yet if there were 'White schools only', that would be racist!

In the Bradford riots and Toxteth riots, you believed that you were standing-up for your race and rights. If we stood-up for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it and that’s fine.But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

We fly our flag, we are racists. If we celebrate St George's day we are racists.

You can fly your flag and it’s called diversity. You celebrate your cultures and it’s called multiculturalism.

I am proud.... but you’d call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists??

There is nothing improper about this and I’m not declaring any hatred for any race, I’m just annoyed by the lack of equal representation and selected media coverage.

Let’s see which of you are proud enough to agree.

I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!

BEING PROUD TO BE WHITE! It's not a crime, YET... but its getting very close.

Oh and ALL lives matter..... And if you feel the need to change ALL for a particular colour then I think you are racist.

"Islamic banks for Muslims only".

Is that a thing?

Not really, it is against the rulings of Islam to charge or receive interest but that wouldn't stop you from opening an account with them if you wanted to. They are basically co operatives that share any profits equally. That entire tirade is Prime, succulent gammon at its finest.

[Bairnardo]

Absolutely dripping in racism that, further proof that what follows "I am not racist" is invariably racist.

I did some stuff about Islamic finance during my professional exams. As Perkin states above interest is a no-no by the book, so the clever people in finance have pretty much rebranded "interest" as "profit" to make finance accessible and above board. There's nothing to stop anyone going into the Bank Of Pakistan, for example, and getting a Sharia-proof loan for themselves, Muslim or not.

Because Muslims can’t be white ... Hate rising to stuff like that post but so many people fall for it. It’s a real worry

Announcing you are leaving a social media platform is the calling card of a moron.

Daily record on facebook

Hey Celtic/rangers fans. What do you think about that bad thing Celtic/rangers did?

Five thousand comments of whatabootery and utter nonsense resulting in some really nasty stuff.

Some of the excuses about taking a knee was sensational. Linked to it’s offensive to Scottish people because some English king demanded all Scots did it when asked by any Englishman.

Actual real people saying this stuff.
 

I joined in once during the death of rangers and it ended up with a local bigot trying to befriend me in order to track me down.

Told him I went to the catholic school and my big team was Celtic.

There are several absolute spanners who post mindlessly sheep-like US propaganda (both sides of the coin)
I scroll past without comment, no point trying to explain the difference between defunding the police and disbanding all law and order, or that virulent anti-immigration Trump-eters who are “friends” are effectively planning to throw me out of the country!
It’s actually quite hilarious

Seen a few "front line" shopworkers (one works in a chippy, the other in B&M) absolutely seething today that Boris Johnson isn't giving them a pay rise.
