It seems to be perfectly acceptable for the left wing to rant, snark and name call but when the shoe is on the other foot and the right wing rants too?
My specific interest is - as per my header - a specific UK based campaign to correct lies on US TV about our Health service. I don't know anything about left vs right ranting. The NHS is supported by the vast majority of UK politicians left and right, it's not seen as a 'leftist' matter here.
"all the clever people are left wing
Is a quote, Stephen Fry - hence the icon. An attempt at humour. Maybe I should have filtered this for UK eyes only?
I don't pretend to understand the intricacies of this debate. I can't discuss the details because I'm not watching the townhall meetings or following it as a news item at all, really, except where it touches on this Twitter-based campaign. Americans are responsible for their Government and its decisions on their health services, that's not what this post is about, it's about the fact that I, like the majority of people in this country, don't happen to like what Americans are saying about an institution very dear too our hearts. We do not take kindly to bald-faced lies being told about our healthcare for nefarious reasons by rather stupid people (since every lie told is and has been easily refuted). That's what I was talking about. I'm sorry if you were offended by my words but I stand by my opinions.
