How is that even on a forum with a relatively educated, thoughtful and discursive posting body, we are so lacking in nuance when it comes to domestic politics? This is such a depressing thread.
When you're next bemoaning the polarisation in our society, the divided narrative of 'us' and 'them', when you're pointing fingers at people who are 'othering', remember that we all have a tendency to do that, but we don't notice it when we're so comfortable in the 'us'.
For all the lefties keen to distance from Momentum - 'they don't speak for me' - the same is true on the right wing. It is a spectrum. And a whole ton of people voted Conservative in the last election. There was no evidence of wholesale election fraud and ballot box stuffing.
So please, let's address our divided, polarised, silo society with a little bit of honesty with ourselves and think about how we can instead contribute our penny's worth to the kinder, more generous and more nuanced discussion.
