Think Farron is a disgrace hiding behind his backward views when it's well known in Westminster he had to go because of poor election results (he lost more than half their seats in England). Lib Dems are lying snakes though so no surprise there.
What bollocks. A tolerant society doesn't tolerate theft or murder or a million other things. The rule of thumb is whether your behaviour impacts on others. Your rights to swing your fists ends where my face begins.
If your religious views are that others should be stopped doing something legal then they aren't compatible with a tolerant society.
Again an example of the facist approach the left is attempting to take society down.
If you reverse your curious argument and the act of homosexuality was illegal and the Christian belief was to support that then you'd I assume take the same view.
The disturbing truth is that people on the left want to define what liberal thought is and anything that transgresses their interpretation they want preventing.
You effectively want to control the freedom of speech. Peter Tatchell has been banned because as a libertarian he believes in freedom of speech and as such objected to another act of censure regarding Germaine Greer. As a consequence of that he was branded a fascist and banned from speaking. The debate forum socialists want is a one platform agenda in unions - namely the suppression of alternative thought. They also want to ban certain newspapers as they give a view that is not acceptable. Does that behaviour resonate with you?
You are confusing liberalism as being the act you consider liberal - it isn't. It's the ability to allow yourself to defend the right to counter argument and alternate thought.
It's why Peter Tarchell for example defended the right of the couple not to decorate a cake for a gay couple on religious grounds. You would just say that's bollocks in your well thought out considered way
Liberty is not a political ideology - it's a belief that transcends ideologies of the left and right. It's why, for example, shami Chakribati supported Jon Gaunt in his dismissal case by Talk Sport. You wouldn't and would struggle to understand why she did.
Farron raises an entirely legitimate point regarding how liberal and tolerant our society is. His hounding out of office shows tolerance of thought only exists if you accept the "correct" view.
That is disturbing.
