[Closed] Another question for the coppers (sorry Facebook content)

I expect he wasn't really paying attention to who of his friends liked it and just liked it as well.

One assumes that a copper's Facebook page is his or her own business but would she likely see a bit of trouble over this?

Any comments any of post on social networks can get into trouble with our employers if we're identifiable and our job is too. Our professional body has made this quite clear this week.

Coincidentally this week or because of the events in London? Serious question, how would they know? Would someone have to report it do you think? Or are they "watching"?

Agreeing with the sentiment of the message doesn't mean they agree with the political views of the OP's.

Yes, point taken, and I was trying to say that the sentiment behind the photo is fine by me. My question was more "is it ok for a copper to "like" an EDL post?" - no matter how harmless the post. Apologies if I'm not making myself clear.

Samuri has it explained.

Hopefully they will be sacked - it's absolutely disgraceful IMO.....

Liking a post that uses the word 'of' incorrectly - outrageous.

Actaully it may have been last week but either way coincidentally. Well it could be reported but they could also spot it I suppose.

As for the EDL thing, wouldn't want to test it but the comment EDL is making seems a fair comment but what they stand for isn't. Like Samuri says I bet he never looked to see where it had come from.

I was thinking the same thing. Copper liked it (hopefully) without realising where it had come from. Just thought it not too wise, and assumed that this week of all (recent) weeks, a copper would be careful about what he or she liked on a social network.

Funnily enough - someone on my timeline has shared the same thing. Certainly not someone who'd want to big up the EDL but the source of the post might not be immediately apparent to people when they share it - as they're probably sharing someone else's share.

I have recently worked on a stress at work case where the claimant produced pages and pages of facebook message thread screen shots to back up his argument.

They were of conversations he had with a colleague before they fell out but contained some very personal stuff.

it really makes you think where stuff you write will end up :-/

Even racist bigots occasionally have sensible thoughts. I'm not actually so sure what's wrong with agreeing with sensible thoughts no matter what the source is - play the ball, not the man and all that.

Btw this kind of "like if you believe in Jesus" or "share if you care" bollocks is just the worst stuff on Facey.

Most professional bodies now have guidlines about Facebook. I had a "hats on bollocking" about something that appeared on mine.

A friend of mine who I cannot imagine in any way supporting the EDL has also liked that pic. I reckon Samuri has it right...

I'd maybe have Liked it too, you're liking the message not the sender. And tbh it's not like you'd ever think something like that would be from that shower of ****s is it?

I'm sure that pic will be appearing in a post by one or other friends or relations on Fb, purely because of connections with the military, and the sentiment, and I would have 'liked' it too. And will, because of what the photo means, not the jackasses who posted it in the first place.

As a bit of a PSA, it seems that a bit of a bug (or something else, I wouldn't know tbh) may have been doing the rounds on Facebook yesterday evening, as one of mrs deadly's good friends informed her that she had "liked" an EDL photo as well. 😯 She has since removed the like from her profile (as, funnily enough, had her copper friend). I checked mine, as I had gone onto the EDL Yorkshire-Leeds page to view the image but it hadn't appeared as a "like" on my profile.

I noticed clubber and others above mentioning that some of their friends had (uncharacteristically) "liked" one of these images as well. I noticed some of my friends (also uncharacteristically) "liking" strange photos and pages yesterday. Might be worth checking your profiles to make sure a mystery "like" hasn't appeared on your timeline as well. 😐

suck it up sugar-tits etc.

😀

LOLz - calm down al.

I've had both EDL and BNP likes pop up on my timeline from unexpected people today, this pic, and some BNP hateful thing about the death penalty, I wonder if I have been judging people too harshly... 😕

Whereas I received a quote today which reads
"If the EDL are so concerned about being English, why aren't they doing more Morris Dancing or entering jam-making competitions instead of being massive bellends."

I'm sure it's not original, and I have no idea who to attribute it to, but it did make me smile. 😀

Hmmm, the gravy thickens...
