PC - Has it nutered political debate?

do you think that all the main parties are suffering from "fear of being labelled, the nasty party"?

Well, your post hasn't been edited out just yet.

'Political Correctness' doesn't appear to be stifling your freedom to say what you think.

Of course right to debate is hard to evaluate here as 'I hate socialists' isn't an argument. But I think the constant immigration/foreigner topics (plus the countless times it gets brought up in other threads) can testify to that.

Is AB, then, a freedom of speech zone or were we being a tad melodramatic about Polticial Correctness in the first place?

It's funny how lefties are called 'soft' and right-wingers like to see themselves as tough.

Yet when debate starts and views are questioned or criticised, it's the right-wingers who starts squealing about how they're labelled and complaining that 'you can't say anything nowadays.'

FYI - You can say whatever you like. People may disagree and criticise you for it, but you're also free to argue back. If you're unable to do that, maybe the 'lefties' have a point? Have a try - see what comes of it.

(And why is it pigeon-holing if you call someone a 'Little Englander' or 'racist', but not if you call someone 'loony left' or 'PC brigade'? Why are you all so thin-skinned about it?)
