The Conservative Party

This pathetic culture war was started by one side to be fair.

It was already here under Cameron and he can’t exactly be accused of it, he’s essentially an Orange Book LibDem.

It’s snowballing every election the left loses, but it’s done by a minority of the left, I must add, those that don’t care much for economic gains, purely identity politics.

I don’t think it’s ever not been there, it’s just that we’ve now got a government that will look to actively push it.

It is what it is, I am concerned about the collateral damage of it though, the culture secretary’s discussion being a case in point. It’s in danger of sacrificing intellectual progression for the sake of political rhetoric.

The government wouldn’t have to do anything if the radical left didn’t start attacking every little thing about the country and calling everyone racist.

The public are sick of them and the government will just do what the public want, as the Tories always do to maintain power.

I am dubious about their reasons, I don’t think it’s a coincidence they’ve started doing it at the same time as getting the culture secretary to try and stop organisations from “rewriting history”.

It’s a very useful tool for the segue from the brexit boogeyman of the EU to the next one for them to go after, which will be the culture war and bringing patriotism into the debate more, which will be an even more depressing and disingenuous debate than the brexit one ever was.

Exactly. You have to dig and find what's kicking off whilst everyone is distracted.

Neil's news channel may well echo this in its broadcasting.

You know what the worst thing about Stalin is?

The hypocrisy

I'm not why you want to discuss Stalin, I have never declared an admiration. I have today called the Militant Tendency irrelevant Leninists and previously told Rascal that Lenin was a zealot who crushed a fledgling democracy in Azerbaijan post WW1.

I really don’t know why you felt the need for the last sentence of your post. It’s not true and you’re just shit stirring.

I don’t know why you think we have to copy other countries anyway.

Not entirely sure what is being re-written. I can see that there are uncomfortable events in Britains past may be being highlighted but thats not re-writing. For example Colston was involved in the slave trade. Highlighting that is not re-writing history. The culture war will simply backfire on the Govt if they try and stifle free speech in the name of free speech

Universities being fined, sounds like progress.

It is when these very universities are attacking free speech and promoting authoritarianism.

The universities are going to be fined if they don’t allow both sides of the debate to have their say.

That is progress and it’s a bloody good job the government is finally standing for something that really matters.

It’s a Norm Macdonald joke.

He always says the worst thing about [insert person who did awful things] is the hypocrisy.
 
As long we're divided the more these cunts will take from us.

Patel bemoaning the cost of a damaged building over the migrants waiting to be allowed to settle should have been pulled up by the so-called free media in this country with pressure to resign. Condemning the damage at Napier as “deeply offensive to the taxpayers of this country” is a play to nationalists and far-right, along with people who have been ostracised by conservative forced austerity who feel the genuine loss and words like that will play and fire up their perceived anger. Surely seeing what Trump did to the USA should be our warning call that people won't heed until it's too late.
