When did we become Democratic?
We have the unelected House of lords.
We have the unelected saxe-coburg and gotha's plus all the hanger on''s we pay for.
We also have the elected muppets, who have ignored what the electorate actually want done for donkeys years.

Can I hide behind irony? :( I may even protest if there's one near me, I haven't protested since the pit closures. I may get into the attic to reaquaint myself with my red Beret and Citizen Smith T shirt

I've tried really hard about thinking of positive aspects about Great Britain, but there's always a touch of negative associated with it, such as,

Free Health Care NHS = Open to abuse by health tourists.
Freedom of speech = Unless you're right of centre views.
Democracy = Unless you voted for BREXIT.
Tolerance = Unless you're a white male (I'm mixed race for anyone who may want to hate on me)


Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man

It costs more to recover the money from the very few health tourists than they cost

You have freedom of speech apart from hate speech

The vote was advisory

We are very tolerant, what races are you?

Same as attrocities committed by friends of Corbyn?
The police should have kept an eye on Corbyn. Although I guess they have been for many years.
Got to admit that is true

You do realise he is the most honerable leader of the opposition and a leaver?

Well the honourable word used in Westminister (silly term anyway) is inappropriate.
I know he is opposition leader, but still our right of free speech to call him out on who he supports.
Not sure he is a real full Leaver.
He is a real fool though. :)
 
Corby will say anything as long as he thinks it will keep the kids and cognitively impaired adults praying to him.
There's only a handful of elected MP's in 'his' party that want him as leader, so he can only rely on the ignorant to keep him there.

Who decides the level of hate speech? Much seems obvious but even tweaking someone's sensibilities is deemed hateful these days. I daren't express an opinion these days unless it fits the progressive orthodoxy.

The referendum was advisory, but it was enshrined into law last year. It's another subject that the two sides will never agree on.

I'm an ethnic mix of Chinese, Indian, West Indian and English. Not kidding. Born in Hull and have no links to any culture but British, my political views are right of centre and my daughter thinks I'm a racist bigot, what she doesn't understand that if I was white that would be levelled at me with conviction because I voted for Brexit, voted UKIP and have an objection to multiculturalism that segregated communities instead of integrated them.


Other than that, I'm extremely tolerant.

If even your daughter thinks you're a racist bigot then perhaps you are a racist bigot.
You have the freedom to say what you want want unless you are spreading hatred.

He is the only person that's keeping brexit alive so I wouldn't knock him.

Maybe you're racist? I'm the ethnic minority after all.

Who decides what is hatred? It seems a little loose and free these days, if someone could provide guidelines it may be helpful.

It is a trick some people use to tarnish your character or viewpoint.
It prevents you carrying an argument fully to what you wish to express.
Throw any of the words racist, hatred, undemocratic, extremist at anyone and it becomes difficult for them to continue

So are you saying that your daughter is racist as she's the person I'm quoting?

There are well used guidelines on what is and isn't racist.

Really? I suspect you're being contrary, but no, my daughter is the same race as me on the whole, with a bit of Jewishness from her mother. She does does suffer from Liberalism having enjoyed a university education but she'll grow out of it I hope,

Nope, not true. Heat is quite correct, if you express a view contrary to popular intellectual left leaning ideology then one of several statements seem to surface which Heat has indicated. Interestingly rarely levelled at myself as I am non white, with a Facebook account with many of the ethnicities covered within my family and all the major religions too. My daughter always defaults to the standard fare when she becomes frustrated with me, Jacob Rees Mogg normally has the desired effect.
