These are strange times. Some on the right seem to have become the perennially offended, whilst others on the left are suddenly free speech advocates. Almost like both sides just take a stance depending on what suits them on any particular issue!

That there are many people who feel disenfranchised in an outdated constitutional system led by an institution that promoted and benefited from an ‘empire’ built on genocide, slavery and pillageWhat was his point?

Which side would you say you were on?I think you've got Left and Right mixed up there.
How do you feel about a certain thread in a sub-forum?

The Left are 100% not free speech advocates. When I was growing up the big difference was that the left would listen to anyone and fight their cause. The Right would want anyone they didn't agree with banned. It has done a 180.Which side would you say you were on?

Hmm, I think you’ve not been keeping up to date with things mate.The Left are 100% not free speech advocates. When I was growing up the big difference was that the left would listen to anyone and fight their cause. The Right would want anyone they didn't agree with banned. It has done a 180.
I think the tipping point was GB News and whatever the other new channel is called with Piers Moron on.
Might have been Meghan that prompted the seesaw flipping the other way.

The Right haven't become advocates of free speech but unfortunately they appear more open than the Left - especially on this forum. The vast majority of abuse on here is from the posters on the Left - the reason I steer clear of the Politics forum. The Left 100% have taken on the mantel of being offended. I genuinely despair of it. Born in Govan, raised in Manchester and absolutely embarrassed by the current Left.The left have become perennially offended, and the right are suddenly free speech advocates?!
