This thread is comedy gold.

The majority of posters here appear to be "right wingers" all joining in to abuse the left and accuse them of intolerance.

But it clearly makes you feel all warm and superior inside, and it provides me with entertainment, so keep it up.

roflroflrofl
Anyone who smells vaguely of "social democrat" on here is labelled a lefty. It's the PH bogeyman, that and Naga Munchetty.
At least you accept that social democrats smell, We just call them crusties biglaugh
I come from a fine line of veggie punks and hedge monkeys.

I guess that all newspapers have a hierarchy. For the Mail transvestites come way ahead of lefties. The Torygraph wheeled out a black school governor to have a go at lefties yesterday.

Yes you're probably right. Did you read the original Grayson Perry interview?

Quite thought provoking as often the case with him.

I got the fact his wife works for SPUC, and gave up. It hard to criticise others when you're part of a mob outside a Marie Stopes clinic.

Any minority especially LGTBTQ BAME (or any other minority group acronym) that are right wingers are gold dust to the mail or the right wing parties.

How can they be against minorities if they have them in their party? better still if they’re saying lefties are intolerant?

Unsurprisingly that article and artists comments about lefties have been in a few threads on here as evidence of the tolerance of ‘the right’ and what’s wrong with ‘the left’

I knew a black guy that was a UKIP candidate and he was always in the media.

I think that’s why priti Patel is so popular and still has a job, being foreign looking and really into brexit and law and order and disliking foreigners.

It's almost as if people in said minority groups are individuals, capable of forming their own opinions and political views.

Obviously they are, it’s the over promotion of them as tokenism that’s the point.

Priti Patel is an idiot, there’s no way she should have a cabinet position. Same with Abbott.

Same with this crossdressing artists comments about lefties and right wingers, the Mail wouldn’t give a toss if Jacob Rees Mogg had said it, it’s the fact that it’s someone perceived to be in a minority that somehow gives it more power, that’s also why the article has been shared on here a few times too.

Look even crossdressing artists (that’s a lefty woke modern world thing) think the right are more tolerant! That’ll show ‘em we’re not racist or intolerant or whatever. hehe

I did and I think there was some truth in it. I like him and his art a lot. The best thing about his pottery and tapestries is that although it always seem to have deep meaning it has stuff written on it so people like me can at least get a clue as to what it's about. (I'm not being sarcastic.)

I’d never heard of him until he was quoted on another thread. I agree though after (was it you maybe) reading posters comments on his art checked it out and I like his stuff too.

Especially valid in the perpetual state of hatred against the rich, as the narrative is that they have taken from the poor.

Of course the rich may be intolerant to the feckless but if one simply hasn't earnt money, than that is the more direct consequence of poverty, as opposed to the oppression and theft the left make it out to be.
We see the same when dissatisfaction leads to blaming other groups like foreigners or the EU etc

Blaming the rich or the EU, or the right/left (or any other group) for your unhappiness is simply reactive thinking and a victim mindset and not taking responsibility for your own situation.
If your job is sold abroad or your trade undercut by immigrant labour, at what point does stating that fact cross the line to become ‘casual racism’ (got to love that word). There is rarely any specificity to the insinuation.

His Reith Lectures were definitely worth a listen.

Agree.

Descent of Man is worth a read. It is a sensible and constructive view on where men sit in society, as it changes around them. It's not the entitled white male wailing you get on NP&E, but a look at how men are ill equipped to cope with the disintegration of family, industrial labour and what it means to be "a man".

I'd also want him next to me in a scrap - he's fairly handy by all accounts and a very good mountain biker. That's what makes his writing interesting, he's everything a man is expected to be, but not.
