I came across a new Facebook group called Fake Off which is trying to fight the growing crop of websites publishing fake sites full of anti-Uk sentiment. It looks interesting - Facebook itself doesn't seem to take any notice when you report these hate sites.

Sounds useful Elegran but I'm not keen to join another Facebook group. I'm fully occupied with GN, Twitter and Bluesky as well as other FB groups!

Not a "joiner" but glad to see.

I'm not a joiner either, but will keep an eye on it to see whether it degenerates into yet another slanging back and forth platform. Might join later - not sure yet.

None of the FB groups I'm in ever turn into 'slanging matches'. They're just interest groups around various hobbies and types of books I like.

This one could be vulnerable to accusations of 'LittleEnglander diseae'
