A Bristol newspaper is outing the jerks who plagued media announcements about Greta Thunberg with threats of violence. They pulled names and faces off their profiles and publicly posted them, with examples of their threats.
Strangely, I notice that all of them are men — who’d have thought it? — and half of them pose in their profiles with alcoholic beverages. I am particularly impressed with the hypocrisy of the guy in the top left who has festooned his profile with the words, “Be kind”.
I’d say media sources should do more of this, except that there are so many of them I’m afraid every paper in the world would be reduced to page after page of photos declaring “these are the assholes who read this paper.”
And i bet they voted leave in 2016 ,and bojo in Dec .The scumbag with the beer and the Union Jack behind him is a typical gammon .I bet he is a member of the english defence league .
It’s especially bizarre as David Attenborough, who says most of the same things, doesn’t get much hate directed at him. Could it be to do with something else, and nothing to do with the climate, perhaps?
Guy in the lower right looks like he would be a good choice as a villain for a potent next Austin Powers movie.
I’ve been thinking of something similar ever since I found out there’s a white supremacist dating site. I’m generally against doxing but I’m sure I can find a few worthy individuals on WaspLove.com.
And you just know that these dickheads who fantasize about crushing dissent with violence would also insist that they support “British freedoms” and despise “political correctness”.
A clicked through to the Bristol website and read the comments. Those threats were actually pretty tame compared to threats made by others (not at that site) of particularly brutal rape. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/teen-activist-greta-thunberg-responds-cartoon-appearing-show-her-being-n1146476
I’m so old that I once thought the internet would actually be a good thing.
@7 On the whole i think the internet is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Should we have banned printing because Mein Kampf was produced on a printing press .
Because of the internet i have been able to listen to the theme song to Fireball XL5 ,didn’t hear it for close on 50 years .
I know it won’t mean much to everyone else .
This is a better version ,didn’t realise Veus looked so much like Pamela Anderson .lol.
I can’t believe the one guy is drinking Bud Light. Really, you have better options in England.
Huh, having some trouble finding most of these guys. Wonder if they got scared and deleted their accounts…
Okay, I know it’s off-topic, and we’d rather be talking about these scumballs, but for some reason, I feel prompted to post this:

(And to ask the inevitable question: Do these guys ever blink??)
@ 4 No he looks like the Hood.
@12 Taking the piss out of Thunderbirds ,the bastards .LOL.
@13 That’s Yul Brynner .
@#13, gijoel:
He does, it’s true, but that shirt has such a 70s vibe, and he’s bald like whatsisname, the villain with the “mini-me”… can’t you just see him sitting with a bunch of other villains in egg-like white plastic chairs, around an oval table, plotting world domination?
