Define 'the left'. Didn't think so. You should be ashamed of yourself, parroting illiterate, uneducated, shallow, moronic Americans and their simplistic political labels.
I don't consider it in much of a binary way, but I got better things to do...what the AI says sums it up. My concern is the bullshit "progressive liberal" trope that the LEFT attempts to pitch when in fact there are moves afoot to restrict freedom of speech with hate laws, in particular Queer Starmer clearly wants to implement "islamaphobia" laws, thus blasphemy laws are on the way in UK.
- Just in case anyone missed this video, the bloke Starmer is talking to is the Islamic scumbag Sadiq Khan - Mayor of London - Starmer clearly sucking up still to get the Muslim vote by suggesting in a disguised way that blasphemy laws are on the way to protect the special religion of Islam..
Again..Christopher Hitchens warning us ..V..Starmer
