But remember it's liberals & the left who are the snowflakes.

The right are furious about:

Taking the knee
Removing statues of slavers
Not singing Rule Britannia
Questioning Britain’s colonial past
Anything done by Harry, Meghan or their new baby
Removing a picture of the Queen

But remember it’s liberals & the left who are the snowflakes.


James OB was good on this on his show this morning. Outrage over people you will never meet making a decision to take down a picture you will never see, in a room that you will never go to is peak culture war bollocks. English nationalism is so tedious.

Also as pointed out by James- do we really live in a country where it is ok for the government to get a say on what is hung on the walls of private spaces. All so very very North Korean!

They signed an agreement on Cyber Climate and the Pandemic, Brexit and Ireland they disagree about, no word on if Biden has heard about his authoritarian predilections

Their claims of being in favour of free speech are becoming ever more blatantly fraudulent. It's quite blatantly about ramming their own views down everyone else's throats and censoring anything that right wingers deem ideologically impure.

I don't know about you but I don't want the likes of Toby Young and Michael Gove telling me what music and TV shows I can and can't like.

In the case of the latest manufactured nonsense about a picture of a Queen in a common room, if somebody had put a picture of the Queen up in any 6th form or Uni common room back in the days when I was studying that picture would have been defaced in a matter of seconds. Right wing gobshites need to be careful what they wish for.
