People tweet or go onto social media to complain about anything they don't like, they are incapable of going to the ballot box so launch campaigns to get people sacked from their jobs, prosecuted and have their livelihoods damaged. You grew up in a generation where people had a tougher hide and could edgy comments, I remember the tail end of that generation of humour and just despair at things nowadays, I really do and I know you do too.
Absolutely, you're a very decent chap whether or not we might disagree on some political issues, and that's why I couldn't brush over it when you posed a question .
The whole point is to highlight that free speech isn't supposed to be selective.
It's a very similar thing to pointing out racism ,in the form of labour anti semitism. The overwhelming majority of people in all parties aren't big racists, yet socialists have automatically made ridiculous allegations that everyone else are racists for so long that they can't cope with it when they receive the same comments .
What you imply, even if you don't say it in so many words is correct . We should return to being a more tolerant society, but that tolerance can't be selective as it currently is.
