Are the left wing less tolerant of the views of others?

Well I'd say we have our proof based on the events of today: Yes.
Luckily the offenders will be found, hunted down, and made to pay. The police have led a couple away in cuffs it would appear (from the Telegraph coverage - not sure if I trust their factual accuracy).
I've never felt the need to march on a Labour conference. I can criticise them adequately every few years at the ballot box.

If they think a fluke victory in which 75% of the electorate did not vote for them gave them a mandate to continue their cuts then they've got another thing coming.
If they think they are going to have a smooth ride over the next five years, they've got another thing coming.
There will be hundreds of thousands of people hounding them, snapping at them and resisting them.

75% of the electorate didn't vote Conservative but it seems to have passed him by that 80% didn't vote Labour.

The lefties are out 'protesting' in Manchester today - showing their class by spitting on journalists, egging Tory party delegates and abusing the police.

Manchester Council Chief Shinypants said:
There is a huge demonstration on, which I will be at, and feelings are running very high about the cruel and disgraceful cuts the Tories are imposing on places like Manchester.
With that comment in print, at least members of the tolerant Left's intelligentsia (vandalism wing) will know how to spell 'cruel' next time they're passing a memorial, carrying a can of red spray paint purely by chance.We can probably discount the appearance of 'disgraceful'. As words go it's too long for the Li(vw) to cope with.

Greater Manchester Police didn't seem to think it went too badly:Greater Manchester Police said:
Chief Supt John O'Hare said: "Today around 60,000 people took part in a demonstration and I would like to thank them for their cooperation."

Just read that the arch protestor in chief, JC, is to lead a protest meeting in Manchester.
If ever conclusive proof were needed of the intolerant attitude of the left were needed.
Pathetic, but irrefutable proof of his complete incapacity to lead this country.
Because he's leading a protest meeting? I'm not sure I see that as conclusive proof of an intolerant attitude.If ever conclusive proof were needed of the intolerant attitude of the left were needed.

Ahead of the Conservative Party Conference, I urge all activists (Labour or not) to focus solely on policy and not to take part in any personal attacks. Misogyny and cyberbully have no place in our society. As I said in my speech at the Labour Party Conference:
"There’s another important thing about how we are going to do this. It’s a vital part of our new politics. I want to repeat what I said at the start of the leadership election. I do not believe in personal abuse of any sort.
Treat people with respect. Treat people as you wish to be treated yourself. Listen to their views, agree or disagree but have that debate. There is going to be no rudeness from me. Maya Angelou said: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."
I want a kinder politics, a more caring society. Don’t let them reduce you to believing in anything less.
So I say to all activists, whether Labour or not, cut out the personal attacks; the cyberbullying; and especially the misogynistic abuse online. And let’s get on with bringing values back into politics."
Contrasts well with the SNP, I'd say.3 October at 13:00 ·

It seems that they are equally intolerant of each other.

@glazbagun, so every other labour, or any other party of note, leader has managed to abide by the gentlemen's agreement that during party conference week you let that demcratic party, and its members, discuss policy without rancour and sniping from the sidelines, and JC has not manage it once, does not reflect on him and his sixth form politicking of the worst kind?
I reckon it shows fairly accurately that there is an underlying intolerance, remember full well that the conservatives won the election, and most importantly that he should not be allowed anywhere near real power in this country until he grows up. Sadly, it may well be too late for him or the left in general whose political posturing has more similarity to a toddler wanting someone's else's toy than anything else a lot of the time.
It's not fair, it's not fair! Repeat until you make yourself sick.

In his book, "Power Trip," Mr McBride suggested Mr Brown did not know what he was doing because his unspoken word to his boss was "don't question my methods." But in his interview, the former spin doctor said: "That is not what I am saying."
He said Mr Brown would approve his leaks before Budgets, suspected he was the source of stories aimed at destabilising other ministers but did not know he smeared them. Today, Mr Brown's office declined to comment.
