Britain is one of the most enlightened countries on earth. It has in the past led the way in scientific and philosophical thought. It was the birthplace of modern engineering and the industrial revolution as well as the worlds of art and literature.
The reason is because we're prepared to ask questions and think outside the box.
Today, right-wing mongs see that as anti-British. If you question anything (government policy, the philosophy of war, the structure of society, the way our financial markets work), you're spurned as some kind of witch. Basically, if you deviate from the angry mob, you must be intent on the destruction of the country. Must be. Stands to reason.
These people are so desperate to cling to the status quo and are so mistrustful of anything different or progressive or new, they frame individual thought as unpatriotic - question the morality of British tactics and you're 'backing the enemy to the hilt'. It's absolutely backward. It's like evolution has stopped and is reversing.

In your own words you have hit upon the answer.
Taking that you mean the evolution of this country, and that evolution does not necessary mean for the good.
It is time for it to stop and then start reversing back to how you described this country's past.

I am appalled by this what you right wingers are saying is that anyone who questions the war etc is a lefty.
However you all criticise this country continualy, you are hypocrits, the left were in power for the last 13 years and took this country into the war so on the one hand you are prepared to criticise this government, criticism that is very rarely based on oany sort of fact and often using nothing but anecdotal evidence. However not to support the war is lefty?
You people are everything that is wrong with this country, you tear the fabric with a constant tirade of negative rhetoric. You are the antithesis of good old fashioned Conservatism, you either confuse or perpertrate a myth that all public opinion is politicaly based. It is called freedom of speech and you would seek to stifle it.
The people who have died for the freedoms that we so much enjoy in this wonderful country are turning in thier graves.

Your confusing me with someone else. The far Right and the far Left are two sides of the same coin. Neither side will allow freedom of thought or anyone else one of the central tenants of Conservatism is freedom of speech, debate and argument. Nobody should vote for someone who will not allow that and no creedence should be given to those who advocate those with a different opinion.
As far as I can see here it is only those with right wing views here want to stifle freedom of speech and as I said only because they are using anecdotal evidence and have no facts.
13 years of a Labour government and all I see is a broadening of free speech but of course it doesn't fit with the right so they screem it down.
I my friend am a Democrat nothing more nothing less.

People with views like aog and youngmafbog are oblivious to a simple fact:
At any point in this country's glorious history, it was people with progressive ideas (regardless of political labels) who made the difference and when one studies their biographies you realise that they would have treated with derision the narrow minded, ill informed, unintelligent, negative generalisations and childlike assumptions that people like the above posters make on a regular basis.
If his user name is a guide, at least anotheroldgit isn't likely to waste our time or good air for much longer. On the same basis, youngmafbog would be a worry, but hopefully if he is a child or (based on the low intellectual standard of his posts) educationally sub-normal, he's already in some sort of Special School and won't be released into the community anytime soon, especially if the new government take away the funding.

Zeuhl (and dog).
I see I have struck a chord. Rather than throw abuse in my direction why dont you try putting forward an arguent with some facts. All you posted was some airy fairy rambling not answering the question put at all.
In fact you show yourself to be one of the intollerant 'do as I say' lefties we are talking about. Others can have an opinion you know, that is what freedom is about.
If you dont like democracy then go and live in a country where they dont have it. I am sure they would love to welcome you.

As I stated you are a hypocrit you would suppress free speech you are totaly intolerant of anyone who has an opposite view. You obviously didn't read what I said or if you did you didn't understand it.
As I said before I think you only post when schools out you are the epitime of everything that is wrong with this country,
What do you know about democracy you want to deny people a voice.

"In fact you show yourself to be one of the intollerant 'do as I say' lefties we are talking about. Others can have an opinion you know, that is what freedom is about".
But you would deny me the right to voice any opninion. Your an idiot hiding behind patriotism and destroying this country as you do.

If that was aimed at me I think you need to calm down mate.
I wasnt the one who resorted to persnoal insults becasue I didnt like what you said was I? OK you did not write the post but you supported it.
I did read you post //Zeuhl - Wish I could have said that. // Not much to misunderstand there is there ?
Just how am I hypocrtical ?
