The level of daily abuse thrown at us on social media for reporting facts

For readers who don’t access social media, here is what we get from Rejoiners

Montage © Facts4EU.Org 2024

Just some examples of the vitriol, foul language, and ignorance we encounter

We know that many of our readers do not use social media but we have to, in order to correct the imbalance of some in the mainstream media and to highlight official facts from the EU, the UK, and from some international organisations.

Generally we ignore the abuse hurled at us each day by Rejoiners but today we thought readers might want to be aware of the level of this. These people almost never bother to read our reports, they only read our summary posts on ‘X’ (Twitter) and Facebook and don’t click on our links. Presumably this is because the official facts would be uncomfortable for them.

We apologise in advance for some of the foul language below, but we decided not to redact it in order to show readers what we receive.

Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary

Just a few examples of the abuse from Rejoiners – from Thursday 09 May 2024

RobertG @1bobuk
“Fucking idiot. As part of the SM thats 10 more countries to sell too. Fuck me how fucking stupid can you be.”

Eton Mess @LordWolfson
“More shit flows out of these propagandists than down an English river”

Tom@Tomcastlehume
“’Brexit Facts’ that's an oxymoron to end all oxymorons”

James L @loz_jame

“Are you not embarrassed about publishing such bullshit”

Stockton West Resistance @AndrewCappEsq
“Lies lies and more lies. Stop treating UK citizens like idiots.”

The above is a fair representation of what we receive on social media daily

We are not alone in this. We know pro-Brexit politicians who are on the receiving end of even worse than this.

If we were part of the ‘Woke’ community we would no doubt be feeling ‘triggered’ and retiring to a ‘safe room’ to nurse our hurt feelings. As it is, we prefer to continue publishing official facts and simply ignore the abuse. This is what grown-ups do.

Observations

Clearly it would better if Rejoiners addressed the facts rather than deflecting onto unconnected matters or throwing foul-mouthed abuse.

Brexiteers can perhaps be comforted by the fact that abuse is what happens when people simply have no arguments or facts to offer.

Finally - and to lighten the mood - we continue with our Sunday tradition of offering readers a little music which is relevant to our work. In this case we have chosen two incomparable musicians: Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. The song is called "Who walks in when I walk out?" and readers may wish to refer back to our report on Thursday.

Whilst I'm not on twitter or Facebook or what the social media platform is, I have seen what comes out of their mouths on certain forums. one only has to look at the crap that comes from Phil Moorhouse

From my experience of posting evidenced fact on certain sites, then reading the replies, the odd one or two respond with creditable retorts.
.
In the main the replies seem to be driven by social media that does their thinking for them - a handy cork board to pin their gullible bias too to make them selves feel relevant, more often than not with inane or malign content which dispalys their psyche. It's rather worrying. I wonder about the prevelance of such minds and when I look at the quality of govt, - I think they might be in the majority.
.
I must at this point tip my hat to SPARKY !
.
OK - he flies alone on these pages and gets some severe flak for his posts that generally get shot down but hats off to him he's still flying putting alternative views, despite the incoming and keeps the regulars on their toes.
.
Indeed, he is instrumental to these pages in that he gives pause for thought, sometimes makes me check or double check the facts as I know them or investigate his assertions further and therefor he sometimes widens and aids our education.
.
In my book he is an asset to Facts4EU - Thank you Sparky !

If you look at it a certain way there are those who think everyone's their friend, No one will harm them and life is good.
They often believe what they are told and think unity is always genuine and preferable.
Others are more realistic and slightly more skeptical.
This type of thinking seperate Brexitears and rejoiners.
Some people just can't see or understand the truth.
Both sides whole heartedly think they are right and the others are wrong, This leads to primal instincts of anger and despair.
Wars have always been started in such a way.
Brexit supporters just can't understand the psyche of how someone can't understand how bad their situation was.
We do see rejoiners as utterly misinformed and misguided, They can't see the truth that is in front of them no matter how much they see.
Of course they vigorously view leavers the same.
It's as the Romans said, Their cozy life and ignorance is just another form of their enslavement.

If it was not for all the hard work by Facts4EU to build bridges between the Brexiteers and Remoaners, this country would still be divided about Brexit.

In a number of instances these characters are psychopaths: they are compulsively verbally abusive, pedantic, dishonest and manipulative.

4 Lux balloon.
Nice and sarcastic as usual.
-
Its not facts4eu's job to build bridges between 2 factions. They are providing us all with valuable reality.
-
We're divided about Brexit because of what's mentioned here. One side are delusional and won't accept a result.

I am on both Facebook and X and I see the abuse Leavers get daily. Not so much on Facebook but on X it is non-stop abuse.
The lies that have been told by the likes of Galsworthy and his followers are something to see and laugh at. The propaganda that he and his European Movment UK out are outstanding and I have told him Hamas would be proud and pay thousands for his services.
Then you have Liz Webster the farmer's wife who has numerous accounts that are a constant stream of anti-Brexit bile, I have caught out her lies numerous times, so much that she has had to block me for showing her followers that whatever comes out of her mouth are outright lies.
I have resorted when I see Rejoiners telling outright lies to give them Community Notes showing proof that they are lying.

if Brexit had delivered on its slogans it could be different.
.
Obviously still a devissive subject and a lot of Bregret out there. DC should have thought through the referendum. Should have required a 60% majority and should have stayed on instead of leaving a vacuum for the Right of the Cons to try to hijac the result.

9, sparkless
.
Hey sparky, you remember that £350 million a week legend on the side of a bus?
Well to paraphrase chief Brody from Jaws
" You're gonna need a bigger bus"!
Because we're spending an extra £636 million a week on the NHS
.
Talking of slogans, I'm still waiting for the super Gonorrhoea the remain camp promised.

Before somethings happened your always going to get adverts and slogans about it.
It's very simple. Our extraction from the EU was and is being managed by EU sympathisers who wish we hadn't left and hope we will rejoin.
That is the exact reason why Brexit has not been fully achieved yet .
-
What Bregret? What we all regret is how badly our leaders have done and how we need to do so much more. We don't regret leaving the EU for one moment.
-
60% in the referendum? Very undemocratic and EU like!
