Even the Tory party now pays lip service to those general guidelines when making public statements. Are they left wing too?
Agree Mike. To not be racist, ***ist, Islamophobic, homophobic etc is not a left wing trait necessarily. It is just a sign that you are reasonable and tolerant human being. There are a lot of posters on here who are probably not left wing per se but would never be any of those things.
