  4.  @marcusbradley3081  - NO that's not true. I'm an author on psychology and I have read lots of research on this. The right wing has the near-total monopoly on "bad people". There is even an experiment that has been done specifically on this. so please don't delude yourself. If you are an evil person - you are 95% likely to be right wing. Here is a summary of the experiment. The Child In The Well Experiment Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing. To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help. Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well. The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child. This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect. 20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo. Upon further investigation, the vast majority - close to 100% - of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.

  7.  @brendanbarker6403  - Because THAT is FREE speech and may I remind you. BORIS JOHNSON GOVERNMENT ARE REMOVING THE RIGHT TO PROTEST These people protest people they don't like, the right does the same. But Labour DID NOT REMOVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST...!!! They are protesting people they believe are spreading hate. They are not protesting their right to speak, but their right TO INCITE HATRED. But it is the RIGHT-WING in the UK that is removing the right to free speech in the form of making protests illegal at the say of the government. So you could not really have picked a worse example. No2 on the list of fascist actions - Disregard for human rights - A tory MP stood up in parliament YESTERDAY and demanded that the Human Rights legislation be SUSPENDED in order to be cruel to migrants No 7. Obsession with national security and rejection of immigrants No 6. Control of mass media [taken over the BBC - installing their man in OFCOM etc etc] No 12. Obsession with crime and punishment, police force selectively apply the laws, don't investigate misconduct by members of the government. Harsher punishments are always the answer. No. 13 Rampant corruption and cronyism, awarding of government contracts to friends and family. Friends and family appointed to government jobs. No 11. Suppression of free speech, suppression of protest, disdain for intellectuals and the arts I'm just giving you and the other people reading this a hint at just HOW fascist this current government under Johnson is. Protesting the spreading of hate speech is NOT intolerance. Its free speech. Removing the right to protest IS suppression of free speech AND absolute INTOLERANCE. But due to almost total control of the media the public are MORE worried about a group of 20 something women with purple hair protesting a racist speaking at a university than they are the GOVERNMENT making protest illegal... And YES I am using your point to highlight a bigger issue. The left are portrayed as intolerant in order to distract from the absolute intolerance of a proto-fascist government. But to get back to my OP - it would appear that Johnson's anti-democratic ambitions are too blatant for even the viewers of "Mogg of the Week" - which is very VERY comforting to know.

  10.  @brendanbarker6403  - I absolutely agree. I believe anyone should be allowed to say whatever their thoughts are UP TO the request to act upon them in a violent way. And I think people who disagree with speakers should be allowed to protest them. And I think the universities should allot said speaker to speak. I now live in Bulgaria, an ex-communist country. After 12 years of talking to people about communism I have a reasonable angle on what it was actually like - both good and bad, and Im not going to go into a long discussion of how great it was ort anything like that. What I am going too say is, the really worrying part is we were TOTALLY LIED TO by our government and our media - the film industry, the news everything. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE WE WERE TOLD. It was bot way worse and way way better - but mostly its the total fiction that is shocking. There were really bad things, but we didn't even get told the genuinely bad things they made up lies. For example - travel, even local travel was severely restricted. There was a police checkpoint at the entrance to every village and you had to have permission to travel between villages. that is genuinely horrible. But we never got told that. We got told that everyone was hungry and miserable and it was cold and snowing all the time. It 45ºC here in summer and the only time there were ever shortages was when there was a supply chain issue like in the UK right now and the vast majority of people were very happy. I digress. My point is we were systematically lied to and the truth censored for 75 years. So its not a new thing.
