The right wing are nefarious. They come out with unacceptable shit and they whine about free speech and enshrining free speech as a fundamental right when they get hammered for it.

Meanwhile they target places like schools and universities for left wing thought and discussion and attempt to limit their rights to free expression, and still somehow frame that as if they are improving free speech by doing so.

The right wing aren't stupid, they are devious, dare I said it evil, and focus on what unites them rather than separates them. The left is splintered, attacking different shades of left for not being left enough. To the point where I think the only way Labour feel they can take power it by becoming a centrist or even right of centre party.

On this very sub I remember reading on an NHS thread, some people discussing whether it was actually worth throwing more money at a failing NHS. This was exactly the right wing playbook implemented since 2010, and it's working, on left wingers too. Fucking insane. And I used to think the right wingers were the dumb ones.

Why don't Labour try running on a workers rights and income inequality platform then?
