What has happened to the Left? 09:26 - Sep 27 with 3977 viewsLohengrin

How have they arrived at this optimal level idiocy? By what road did they travel and why do they now traverse it by skateboard? Why in God’s name do so many of them seem to be running around the place with skateboards tucked under their arms? If somebody knows the answer I’d love to hear it. Is it perhaps a means of carrying a weapon they think they can get away with?



In living memory the Left has gone from this:



Men and women who looked like you, spoke in language you could understand and identify with, to this:



The sort of ideological carrion any self-respecting crow would turn its beak up at. How has it come to this? Answers on a postcard please...

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

He’s hardly inspiring a nation to his cause. His biggest problem apart from the raging civil war in the party is the fact that he’s a remarkably boring chap.


Maybe we should try a funny bloke with a comical stage name and fluffy hair.
A bit like Ken Dodd, you know.

A razor sharp lawyer who came from humble beginnings and is in politics to help people less well off. I mean who would want that if he is considered ‘boring’, eh ....?

The thing is Loh, how many of us actually know members of the "left" like that? I don't know any. The people of the left that I know are perfectly normal people who happen to support Labour, and who often dislike the type of extremist you describe as well.

It's like me posting pictures of BNP or Britain First types and saying they are typical of the right. Which, of course is nonsense, as most members of the right in the UK are also perfectly normal people who happen to vote Conservative.

All this demonisation of the other side is not good for any of us imo.

We’d all save on our tax bill under a Ken Dodd administration. It’s a pity he’s dead. And we’ve already got the Diddy men in charge. “Diddy fly to Perugia?, Diddy take covid to Durham?”

I’m here all week.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

I was brought up to believe the Labour part /socilaism was all about tolerance ,freedom of expression and speech.Looking around their ranks,I dont see much evidence of that.

Anyone not voting for them is abused/insulted and pigeon holed as vile.


Not much "tolerance ,freedom of expression and speech" from the Labour Party when they kicked out Ken Livingstone for being "anti semitic". Ffs.

Any evidence of that Richard? Because I can't say I see it. Completely wrong if it does happen of course.

And do you ever see this type of behaviour from the right?

Despite people wanting to make out this is an extreme example, it certainly is not.

The left is absolutely infested with the millennial university type, that have been hammered with critical race theory and gender studies. The left is currently a cesspit of intolerance and a lack of any fundamental knowledge.

Privileged, sheltered, sensitive outrage-mongers. Desperate to hold onto the notion of racism and sexism so they grip to it for dear life, finding it where it doesn’t exist. Unwilling to debate any sort of political subject as they know they will lose, it’s all about shouting, abuse, chanting and scribbling some rhyme they can’t explain on a picket.

As someone who used to identify with the left, I think it is in the most horrific state it has been in, certainly in my life time.

Oh come on, when I posted anti Corbyn opinions I got some abuse on here. I ditched social media because I was fed up of seeing so much abuse bandied around and on the Walesonline comments section I got dogs abuse for saying I could never vote Corbyn and he would never be Prime Minster.

I'm not even a tory voter, I give most politicians stick but whereas the right wingers on here have posted opinions in return, some more fervent left wingers got quite uppity!

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

I deliberately decided not to adduce evidence of Tory voter hating crap so as not to perpetyate old spats.

Even a cursory check,Hump,will see ritual Tory abuse.

It's almost de rigeur for many on here.

Nobody in their right mind would admit to be card carrying member of the Conservative party;however many will profess lifetime loyalty to the Labour party and hatred for the Tories.

Hopefully,somebody on here will have the guts to admit what I post regarding the Tories.

All that is needed is to start a thread--"Margaret Thatcher was our greatest prime minister".Speak to many she plainly was. Speak to others and they'll admit dancing in the streets when she died.

Semper Fidel eh boys

I don’t know what it is but there’s always something a bit sinister about the left.

It’s become very religious cult-like.

Religion to me, apart from the utterly devout, seems to be a lot of people pretending because it makes them feel good. Facts then become irrelevant, discussing the topic is avoided at all costs as it’s really dodgy territory you are on, anyone who disagrees is seen as some sort of infidel and their world revolves around some alternate reality.

It’s all very bizarre.
