@N_Shirtcliffe Reading through your attempts to bat off criticisms of your post has been quite amusing.
It has, however, come at the expense of your credibility as a "Biomaterials Science researcher and lecturer."
To paraphrase Haidt: Ideology binds and blinds.
@PaulCoxComedy To be fair, it was 13% of voters (33% of 39% who turned out to vote). Still 13% too many, but an important question is, how does such a publicly salient by-election have such a low turnout (even by by-elections standards that typically have ~40-50%)?
@DavidGHFrost The Tories were in power for 14 years, and were either, mostly generously, asleep as the wheel, but in most cases, responsible horrendous state of the country, and it's institutions by the time they were booted out. 14 years of, basically, total ideological capture by the left.
@JamesEsses "I believe in free speech"
If that's the case, James, why haven't you said anything about the disgraceful actions of your fellow Conservative councillor, who reported a 15 year old to the police for 'hurty words'?
