Gosh, bot networks are out in force today pushing #NeverLabour #BackBoris ... always remember, you are likely to be talking to a bot or someone trapped and being radicalised within a network. They are usually not aware that most of their active "friends" have an agenda ...
... or are actually bots. So be kind, be mindful of this. There can be good people trapped and radicalised by this stuff, see the whole #DefundBBC saga.
If you need to engage then listen first, be kind, be caring and don't push them further into these networks.

Wow ... bot networks (and people captured in these networks) have gone into overdrive this morning pumping out the idea that strikers and their supporters are capitalist hating marxists. Last time I saw this level of disinformation and propaganda was the Corbyn days.
