The "alternative view" by the left to make ex uses and try to deflect from their disgusting behaviour should be treated as "more lies".

As I understand it this was just opposing views about Israeli politics. I have Jewish friends who are pro Palestinian and they will be accused of being anti Semitic here too.

Even though my age does permit me to use the expression, I will resist the temptation to say "it's political correctness gone mad".

Don't let the PC brigade get to you Harbal. They want to shut out everything that doesn't agree with their ideological agenda ... speak your mind, its a free country and free speech is the backbone of democracy.

Agreed Harbal.....
Political correctness is spreading among the young people of this country faster than Coronavirus has, and with more devastating effects to society. I think Schools and Universities are to blame with their lefty academics....

It seems more like Keir Starmer bending over backwards to appease. Although he prefers to call it "strong and decisive leadership".

I don't mind a certain amount of PC, as long as it has a reasonable quantity of truth mixed in.
