Isn't that the left - to a tea...

It's just another example of the sort of sad lefties who just want to have a pop at anything or anyone they think doesn't agree with them. They're just angry that they've lost the argument and see no signs of getting any sort of act together. Also they don't understand that such behaviour is counter productive to their cause.
There's worse out there, but that doesn't get the publicity this has. Yet when you try and point it out you just get foul insults.
Yep, identitea politics. There's worse out there, but that doesn't get the publicity this has. Yet when you try and point it out you just get foul insults.

What is it with Yorkshire?
Gods County? A lad I used to work with told me there are only two types of people in the world; people from Yorkshire, and people who wish they were from Yorkshire Best tea you can buy though.
FFS, they have Keighley !!! Enough said.

i must be the third of the two types. Born in one county neighboring Yorkshire (only 15 miles from Sheffield) and now live in the red rose county. Gets right up my nose this supposed Yorkshire 'superiority'

I'm not sure what Derbyshire DOES have and the red rose has Salford. We all have out crosses to bear FFS, they have Keighley !!! Enough said.
But don't let it get up your nose - inferiority complexes are as unhealthy as superiority ones.
I thought YT's response was good. Though I fear "be kind" is in danger of going the same way as "me too" and "poverty".
I think 'the left' have really set themselves up here, not necessarily because they have now overtaken the right in terms of hatred but as supposed bastions of tolerance they have now exposed themselves with repeated hysterical reactions to the mere presence of their political opponents.
Such slogans as F*** the Tories/ Never kissed a Tory/ B***cks to Brexit/ F**** Boris, being in the lexicon of many a moderate Labour voter tells me that such vitriol is intrinsic to their ethos. Not to detract from right wing sentiment against people of colour for example, but 'the left' make a living out for smearing as widely as possible these accusations of hate, while preaching death to someone from the wrong party.

Agreed, but I can’t help but think the leadership have tolerated this behavior. The search for ideological purity in the Labour Party leadership contest is pretty unattractive. Over that is layered this incredible level of identity politics, which almost no voters care less about.

Voters are in favor of equality. That should probably cover everything.
The Milllie Tant brigade and very small but very loud SJW’s that Labour are attracting as a core group are NEVER going to get ethe Labour Party re elected to form a Government. Given their total inability to understand what just happened in the last election, its clear they aren’t able to learn, or to contemplate seeing politics once again as ‘the art of the possible’
