      "Facebook is a place where people can express their views and discuss things in an open way as they can and do in many other places, and as such we sometimes find people discussing topics others may find distasteful, however that is not a reason in itself to stop a debate from happening."
      Wonder how long a R.I.P Adolf Hitler page would last.

        There is a 50/50 split between those who "support" and those who do not.

        A lot of supporters are, unsurprisingly, local to Moat, and put some of the events into perspective. The karate instructor bf who was killed was alleged to have attacked Moat with an iron bar, his gf is described, in colourful terms as someone who is alleged to "enjoy the varied company of males".

        Also, there is a lot of anti-plod sentiment, and this page seems to be a way of people having a go at the uniformed social services, rather than any real support of Moat.

          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              Well. I believe this could be our next CUK style holiday.

              We just need to wait for something outrageous to happen, Shaunbhoy sets up a Facebook page and then CUKKERS pile in to get it going, sending out emails/links across the net.

              Obviously logins will need to be stupid like Bob, Cyberman, Coco, Andyw etc

              With luck, we'll get it to go viral, with the plan being to get a mention off Dave Cameron in the House of Commons.

              So just waiting for now a major travesty

                My favourite comment on there was by some chap whose avatar was a picture of a pack of Rizzla. Something like "RIP Moat. ur a legend f*** all dem haterz. better 2 die a soldier than live a coward".

                Yeah, he died a soldier didn't he? Shot an unarmed cop, blinded him, hid in a storm drain for four days, came out and cried about not being loved then shot himself. What a hero.

                  That's actually rather good. The assorted political parties would be jostling for the moral high ground. "I think you'll find the Labour Government were far more outraged" etc etc

                      There is going to be a Raoul Moat part on Saturday night on the place he shot himself.
