The government being climate change denialists while the country is literally on fire.

I was listening to Boris Johnson speak the other day and he was saying something about climate change and biodiversity loss, and for a second I was shocked that a conservative politician would say that. Then I remembered in Europe, climate change is simply a fact and any politician would be laughed out of parliament if they tried to deny it. Our pm would rather eat dirt than admit it.

Patronising liberals talking to anyone who disagrees with them like they are stupid.

The drinking culture

The education system is more of a liberal indoctrination than teaching children to think for themselves.

Too many people claiming knowledge of the school curriculum and being judgemental about it. Actually find out what History is being taught and enlighten yourselves.

I'm ashamed of our government and that society has continually chosen to re-elect them and their hypocrisy.

Payrises for MPs, minimal increases for other public sector workers.
No free school meals for deprived children, yet subidised eating for them in the house of commons.

The way they have continually lied about Brexit and immigration and made deals to benefit their multimillionaire mates and screwed over their newly burgeoning working class supporters who just haven't realised yet how badly they are going to be affected.

I'm Scottish and did not support Scottish Independence in 2014 as I genuinely believed we were "better together" but now feel differently. I'm currently domiciled in England but would seriously consider relocating "home" if it happens.

Liberal is one of those funny words. In Canada they are conservatives, in America they are communists, they can be everything from middle of the road pragmatists to free speech purists.

Which do you mean?
