I think you’re completely wrong about everything in that post.

It’s not a problem. I’m more concerned with the intolerant right wing who are holding all the power and don’t seem to be letting go anytime soon.

Well I really shouldn’t t worry. Despite all these claims we still have a right wing party in power , Trump is gaining strength and more people listen to his crap than ever before and the world is leaning more and more to the right so I imagine all you panicky little right wingers will be just...

Universities and academic institutions have always been primarily liberal places as far back as they go. It’s a good job we have Eton, Harrow, Cambridge, Oxford and almost 300 private schools to balance it out and provide members for Bullingdon.

That is one of the most bonkers posts I’ve ever read on here. Total tinfoil hattery! Well done.

Agreed.

You’re just plain wrong. Don’t waste another day typing gibberish.

You’d think so

Are you suggesting that institutional racism, sexism and homophobia don’t exist? Are you suggesting that there is not one politician who doesn’t harbour sexist, racist or homophobic views?

Where to start? Let’s see. We began by talking about certain attitudes held by people who subscribe to the politics of the right. That includes mainstream politicians and everyday folk. So that’s politicians and people of influence behind the closed doors of exclusive clubs and boardrooms and...

No, mainstream political discourse is not what we were exclusively talking about, that’s where you have tried to steer it since my points didn’t fit your narrative. We were talking about whether these traits are prevalent in those who hold political views that lean to the right. My experience...

My God, you’re exhausting. Yes, sometimes those views are expressed explicitly but more often than not they are expressed in behaviours and actions. In off the cuff remarks and slights. In out of date phrases, in membership rules, in attitudes, rhetoric, traditions, tastes, staffing choices. And...

Oh give over, that's not what I said at all. We obviously move in different circles because I have heard plenty of people express outdated views on these matters and proudly regard these views as part of their right leaning political views. Just because you clearly haven't heard such views...

You must be extremely naive to think that politicians' views expressed in public always echo their private views. To repeat... So you mean you will only accept a political view from a politician? I'm talking about the outdated right wing views present in the everyday fabric of our society...

So you mean you will only accept a political view from a politician? I'm talking about the outdated right wing views present in the everyday fabric of our society. You don't have to go far. But if you are not willing to accept that as an example we shall have to agree to disagree I think. No...

You'll find that attitude is not spoken out loud much in public forums these days but go behind the closed doors of many institutions and you'll experience it aplenty. Head to the VIth form Common Room in any British boarding school if you are tempted to think these attitudes are dying out too...

There are people that oppose women's rights, are prejudiced against gays (for non religious reasons), do not like foreigners and proudly package this all as their right wing political beliefs. And you really don't have to gao far to find them. Bolton Conservative Men's Club is a good place to...

I have. But no, I was in fact pointing out, using myself as an example that those who lean to the right also hold normal, liberal views.

All blurs into one for me. I am personally slightly to the right of centre with a sprinkling of liberal views. I am known by my other half as the Victorian Father for my old fashioned views and insistence on wearing long sleeves at the beach.The able bodied of working age should be in...

You assume the people reacting aren't laughing just as hard.
