I voted Leave the EU along with a majority of electors.
For doing so the liberal 'Remain' media and remainers in general label us stupid, or racist or both.
I don't like the fact that the BBC refuses to re-run some great old sit coms from the 70s and 80s cos it deems them to be non-PC today.
That stuff was funny then and it is still funny, it is also a part of our cultural TV heritage.
Liberals have been whingeing about Trump winning.
Seems to me that for a liberal it is only democracy when their side wins.
Where there isn't a vote involved then they apply censorship as per the BBC.
I have nothing whatsoever against anybody being a liberal about any issue at all.
Thatnis their call.
What I do object to is the intolerance that many liberals show towards those they consider to be in opposition to their position.
What do you think?

I think the name "liberal" is completely misplaced for (closet) communists.

OK factor out 'liberal' it still stands that there are some people out there for whom it is only democracy as and when it goes their way.
If it doesn't agree with what they want they're up in arms.

That just can't be.
They are inclusive and tolerant.
Just ask 'em.

Jus' don't be wearing a "Make America Great Again" T-shirt when you ask 'cause that's a "trigger".

Agree , wholeheartedly, about liberals . In my experience if you make a comment
that cannot be refuted , for example, all hospital closures have been made under Tory
or Labour Govts. whilst overseen by the EU, then they will divert and change the subject.

I remember the good old days, when 90+ year olds in nursing homes lived forever. Darn this pesky virus.
