Nasty site on facebook

Dear Val,

There is certainly an extremely provocative page that has been set up on Facebook. I first came across it by accident when some racist comments were made against our lovely new doctor. It seems that it is run by three persons, who are allegedly members of FN.

Here is a copied posting from a comment which was put up a couple of days ago. The original was in French, but I've 'google' translated it.

" I'm quite surprised that there should be no more reaction to the announcement of the arrival of migrants en masse in our region, we are already bled white financially by the state, they have calculated that he needed 24 euros Minimum per day and per person just to feed them, the rest is not counted! Those who come to bruniquel are here for 3 months renewable! In the end for which the note?, for you and me, little calculation :, 9000 migrants by 24 euros per day, 216000 euros per day and per month 6480000 euros and I do Don't count the pocket money (RSA) Housing, heating, food, mosque etc etc etc........... all this money comes from our toil and we shall be deleted as the measure my case........ in conclusion, I think the volunteers Of Origin English (E) have never lifted a finger to a Frenchman in the difficulty, on this, meditate on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

We all have to combat racism and intolerance, but also be aware that there are strong undercurrents of both, even in our beautiful Tarn et Garonne. They even still talk about the German occupation here! There's a long way to go yet!

Val says this is one of many nasty posts on this site on facebook  which I would not deem to mention the name of. The fight is out there with these uncaring people and do not think the fight is just with refugees, we Brits are in a very precarious state now with Brexit.
As a French friend said to me this morning  "I am not frightened of the refugees but I am frightened of the venomous words of the FN members"
