Britain is one of the most liberal countries in the world

According to new research, only a handful of countries are more liberal than the UK.

So when the TQ flee these Terf Islands, hoping for asylum and sanctuary from the imaginary "literal genocide". Where are they going to go? Because actually, people here are very tolerant and want a country where people are free to live their lives in peace, but they also are not going to pretend biological reality isn't real.

Did they ask about transgenderism? That would be interesting to see.

The people who wanted to make scientific language 'inclusive' by erasing words such as 'mother' and 'woman' and so on also stated this:
Much of Western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy, and patriarchy, and these power structures continue to permeate our scientific culture

And no doubt that is true, but then the important question is to ask what non-Western science is rooted in. Certainly patriarchy, and more so, probably, than Western science. And probably some kind of race-based supremacy, privileging the race of those who wrote it.

Not critically examining alternatives is so common among the far left that you stop noticing it.

Critically examining all alternatives is not excusing the problems having to do with ideologies common in the West, but being realistic about the fact that other parts of the world also have problems, and when it comes to women's status those problems are more severe than in the West.

Seriously, I would quite like those making those sort of claims to just fuck off

Seconded.

"Where are they going to go?"
Anywhere. Anywhere but here, with their performative whinging. Seriously, I would quite like those making those sort of claims to just fuck off. Of course they won't. It's all a bit Phil Collins vowing to emigrate in Labour get into power. 'Look at me, look at me, look at meeeeeeeee!'

Interesting, though bit shocked that only two thirds polled thought homosexuality was 'justifiable', I'd have thought it would be higher than that.

Ranked higher than Canada. Maybe those insisting they’re off to claim asylum in Canada from the hideous, oppressive UK could take note. 🤣

It's the being tolerant and liberal to women too that is the problem. That's the bit that a certain political lobby would like to end. It does not want at all to live in a tolerant or liberal country, it just wishes to control of it.

Hang on, I thought we were a rainy, fascist island?!

Most tolerant and liberal country. But if you listened to BLM or the left you'd think it was a bastion of racism and intolerance. Some of those detractors should look around the world before they brand the UK as intolerant, when it is not.

HiccupHorrendousHaddock · 07/03/2023 17:13

It's a very liberal country, and thank fuck for that!

twitterexile · 07/03/2023 17:10

Of course it is. Despite what the Left say...

YANBU. However on this website anything other than complete unquestioning agreement with hard left policy is ‘extremely right wing’ 🤷🏼‍♀️

Survey doesn’t surprise me at all
