People are using social media to lie about the Manchester attack
Fake grief: People are pretending to be – or be related to – victims of the Manchester attack in order to gain views on Twitter.
This is just plain despicable. Watch:

Anybody claiming involvement in Manchester attack to gain readers on Twitter is lower than vermin.
I don’t know whether it’s best to ‘out’ them – expose their lies to the wider public – or simply ignore them.

Think it’s time they were outed Mike, something has to change the bad side of social media, it can do such good things, bring people together, get help etc and it’s cheapened and made a mockery of by these people, this includes the trolls who just snipe for no other reason than to cause upset.
In my opinion suspending the political campaigning is giving in to terrorism.
Unless you are a narcissist, why would you do this? Surely, if you have friends, relatives who were there, you would actually talk to the people in your life who are important to you, not anonymous text on a screen(!)
Anyone caught using this tragedy to further their own deviousness needs to be placed before the courts and, hopefully, receive a proper sentence for criminal behaviour!
