The words RIGHT WING are often used in the form of a slur - stealthily linked to more words that broaden context towards Nazism or oppression by the powerful.
We also have FAR Right? This pushes Nazism at you without commitment to a belief in what you write or say. A cowardly way of dishing out a slur or insult.
I use "leftwaffe", "leftist" as a direct wind-up attempt but I include evidence for context. Its banter.
However. Right Wing has been hijacked along with FAR right - you can see the underlying attempt at a slur.
I value the Rule of Law and putting our country first. Which means ZERO il ..read more

We have always had laws to do with Defamation - Incitement - Threats - there is no need for any such laws as "hate speech". I oppose such laws in their entirety.
This is tyranny. Shame on Scotland. They need to get this new SNP leader out very quickly.
I will never visit Scotland again nor will I knowingly purchase anything from Scotland.
The Scottish have an outstanding record/history in our armed forces - a most proud record. This has turned it into a joke.
Something has to happen to stop all this fascist governance.
God help us if Starmer gets in because we will see this tyranny writ large ..read more

Ironically that applies throughout every level of our political structure. Take my home area for instance, at Parish council level if there are only enough names to fill the available positions, there is NO ELECTION. At county Council level, we vote for the candidate same as at national level.
At any point within the tenure of said council the leader who is generally at national and county level the leader of the respective most seat party, but not so here at Parish level, there may only be 10 councillors and only one person wants or is prepared to be leader or names are voted on by the mem ..read more

Quote from Armitage Shanks
. . .The problem is that if you are of the Traditional Conservative leaning as I am you feel a lot of hate coming your way because the radical left use name calling, insult hurling and social vilification as standard tools of their trade. They don’t want a discussion, they just want to silence what they see as dissenting voices. They have no desire to discuss.
I suggest you look at some of the posts here and you'll see that to portray that behaviour as only being of the left is very false.
Rights are rarely (if at all) absolute as someone exercising a perceived r ..read more
