captionStory from Jam Press (Expats Mocked) Pictured: Video grabs of the planes trying to help the wildfires. Brit ex-pats mocked for Facebook “virtue signalling” over Tenerife wildfires British ex-pats have been mocked for “virtue signalling” over the Tenerife wildfires 40 miles away A ‘crisis response’ banner was made available to Facebook users on the Canary Island. The wildfires have mainly affected the municipalities of Arafo and Candelaria in the northeast of the holiday isle. Around 12,000 people have been evacuated, but thankfully there have been no deaths or even injuries. The huge blaze, which Canary Islands president Fernando Clavijo confirmed was started deliberately, continues to spread into neighbouring municipalities and northern areas such as La Matanza. However, favourable weather conditions and the effective work of firefighting crews have led to the fires being “stabilised” as evacuees begin to return to their homes. Amid the dramatic scenes, hundreds of expats used the Facebook crisis banner to mark themselves as ‘safe’. However, no-one being killed or even hurt – along with the fact that most expats are based far away in the south of the island – the crisis banners have been widely mocked as “virtue signalling nonsense.” Most Brits live in the southern area stretching from Los Cristianos to Costa Adeje, about 40 miles from the nearest fire. Tenerife entertainer Ben Armitage said: “I mean, for f*cks sake peeps, come on...“Most of you have never left the south coast and don't even know where Arafo or La Matanza are. “I'm even seeing people who live in UK marking themselves safe from the north fires, like seriously what the f*ck is going on? “Virtue signalling at its finest. “Wow.” Richard Bartlett, who runs the AC Direct air conditioning company, said: “I saw all these 'marked as safe’ b*llox posts... virtue signalling nonsense.” Singer Mark Turin mocked a meme that read: “Marked safe from telling everyone if I’m safe or not today.” John Parkes, who owns The Vault bar in Los Cristianos, said: “People living nowhere near a tree - let alone the forests that are on fire - marking themselves as safe. “Get a grip.” He later told Jam Press: “The wildfires have destroyed vast amounts of the island’s forest areas and the authorities are bravely battling the fire. “However, it has been unbelievable to see people who live nowhere near the affected areas - or even a tree never mind woodland - marking themselves ‘safe’.” The British bar owner added: “The story here is the decimation of natural beauty spots and the bravery and skill of the firefighters - not ‘Paul in Los Cristianos marking himself as safe’.” ENDS EDITORS NOTE: Video Usage Licence:(NON-EXCLUSIVE) We have obtained a non-exclusive licence from the copyright holder.

captionStory from Jam Press (Expats Mocked) Pictured: Video grabs of the planes trying to help the wildfires. Brit ex-pats mocked for Facebook “virtue signalling” over Tenerife wildfires British ex-pats have been mocked for “virtue signalling” over the Tenerife wildfires 40 miles away A ‘crisis response’ banner was made available to Facebook users on the Canary Island. The wildfires have mainly affected the municipalities of Arafo and Candelaria in the northeast of the holiday isle. Around 12,000 people have been evacuated, but thankfully there have been no deaths or even injuries. The huge blaze, which Canary Islands president Fernando Clavijo confirmed was started deliberately, continues to spread into neighbouring municipalities and northern areas such as La Matanza. However, favourable weather conditions and the effective work of firefighting crews have led to the fires being “stabilised” as evacuees begin to return to their homes. Amid the dramatic scenes, hundreds of expats used the Facebook crisis banner to mark themselves as ‘safe’. However, no-one being killed or even hurt – along with the fact that most expats are based far away in the south of the island – the crisis banners have been widely mocked as “virtue signalling nonsense.” Most Brits live in the southern area stretching from Los Cristianos to Costa Adeje, about 40 miles from the nearest fire. Tenerife entertainer Ben Armitage said: “I mean, for f*cks sake peeps, come on...“Most of you have never left the south coast and don't even know where Arafo or La Matanza are. “I'm even seeing people who live in UK marking themselves safe from the north fires, like seriously what the f*ck is going on? “Virtue signalling at its finest. “Wow.” Richard Bartlett, who runs the AC Direct air conditioning company, said: “I saw all these 'marked as safe’ b*llox posts... virtue signalling nonsense.” Singer Mark Turin mocked a meme that read: “Marked safe from telling everyone if I’m safe or not today.” John Parkes, who owns The Vault bar in Los Cristianos, said: “People living nowhere near a tree - let alone the forests that are on fire - marking themselves as safe. “Get a grip.” He later told Jam Press: “The wildfires have destroyed vast amounts of the island’s forest areas and the authorities are bravely battling the fire. “However, it has been unbelievable to see people who live nowhere near the affected areas - or even a tree never mind woodland - marking themselves ‘safe’.” The British bar owner added: “The story here is the decimation of natural beauty spots and the bravery and skill of the firefighters - not ‘Paul in Los Cristianos marking himself as safe’.” ENDS EDITORS NOTE: Video Usage Licence:(NON-EXCLUSIVE) We have obtained a non-exclusive licence from the copyright holder.
