EXPAT residents have rallied in support after psychologist and medium Julian Jenkins called for calm and rational thinking during lockdown.
Yesterday we ran an article with words of advice from world famous Julian Jenkins and the reaction instantly saw a downturn in nastiness comments on social media across all channels and media sections throughout Spain in the English language.
Hundreds of expats supported the words of Jenkins as they contacted the Euro Weekly News:
“What a great piece, especially concerning the comments. Absolutely normal people turn in to experts with their keyboards, using expletives they wouldn’t dream about in normal everyday conversation. It’s getting to everyone, true but the alternative to it is not worth thinking about. The whole world is in this try to make the best of it,” said Philip from Spain-
Dead is dead, no longer living and being able to communicate with anyone.”
Although studying the large downturn in spiteful and nasty comments it does appear that expats in general have heeded the advice which can only be a positive as expats continue on the long run of lockdown as Phil Saunders from Fuengirola pointed out:
“It was great to see yesterday a large downturn in social media nastiness, I’m a member of many groups on Facebook especially, across the spectrum it was turning nasty, I shared the article from Julian in the groups I participate in and there was a clear downturn, many didn’t comment but I presume read the article and the downturn began, we are all in this together, yes of course we will have different opinions, but manners cost nothing as my grandmother used to say to us.”
