Im on 4 very different types of forums, and this one is significantly right wing biased in comparison, well the politics sub forum anyways.
It is predominantly right wing in the number of vocal posters.
Whether it is predominantly right wing terms in terms of occasional posters is another issue. The right have been emboldened by brexit and I do understand why some on the right feel so aggrieved when it comes to down to brexit. It is hard to come to terms with the fact you have been sold a second hand Nissan Micra when you were promised a Lamborghini Countach.
What is surprising though is that the ire of those on the right/leave is aimed not at the people who sold them the car, it is aimed at the people who warned them that the car was an old banger.
Instead of taking those salesman to the cleaners for their lies and snake oil, they have turned it on those who are not responsible for the sales pitch. You do not see a leave supporter posting their dissapointment in the right wing politicians like Farage, Cameron, Osborne, Johnson and Gove who have told lie after lie after lie, they blame Corbyn and Labour for something that was not their responsibilty in the first place.
When they are pulled up for believing the sales pitch they react like anybody who has been the victim of a con, they feel shame and become more entrenched in their view that they are not to blame. They don't own up for buying the Nissan Micra they prevaricate and turn their anger on to those who are not in any way responsible. They have been manipulated by extremists and dare I say it radicalised by the nutjobs into believing the Nissan Micra is an actual Lamborghini.
Surely what all of us wanted was honesty, a true reflection of what was and what is, a true picture of what is too come instead we were all the victims of nefarious vested interests seeking to manipulate us for personal gain. The noble causes were lost in this fog of lies and mistruths, and as a nation we have all, leave or remain suffered at the hands of these shadowy people who use us all for their personal advantage.
Churchill once said "What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make the muddled world a better place for those who live in it after we are gone"
Can any of the clowns who have brought us to this place, even contemplate those words of one of the greatest Prime Ministers in our history?
