TWTD is a hotbed of left wingers 08:15 - Mar 31 with 8448 viewsurbanpenguin

People keep writing on here that TWTD is full of "left wingers", or even worse "the far woke".

But is it? I didn't want to do a poll because that would only descend into a binfire, but I am nonetheless interested in the fact some people think this website has an Overton Window further to the left than other places in the world.

I suspect that what's actually happening is that those people who otherwise post on Twitter/X or in closed family Facebook groups are here suddenly encountering different views and counter opinions where normally there's a bubble of agreement.

That doesn't mean that everybody here is left wing, just that perhaps it slightly more reflects a broader society, but they cannot get their minds around that and so just believe and shout that they are drowning in a sea of lefties.

Or perhaps, for no logical reason I can imagine, a thirty year old website run by a couple of football fans has somehow turned into a Suffolk amalgam of Tribune, Pravda and The Morning Star, just with more content about Bontcho.

Interesting to note Farage has used the term "hard left lunatics" to describe those who have misgivings about recent developments. It's a modification of Trump's radical left lunatics.

"Nigel Farage reveals reason behind his Ipswich Town trip

Nigel Farage has blamed "hard left lunatics" for forcing Ipswich Town to make a humiliating apology for hosting him, describing his critics as "deeply intolerant"."

I suppose it just goes to show how far to the right the term "hard left" has moved.

They were an odd mix. The coalition government legalised gay marriage which is not a very socially conservative move.


It’s almost as if…

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
Poll: With Evans taking 65% in Huddersfield, is the Banter Era over?
