The last 4 years have seen a tip to ...Thanks, Lynn.<br />The last 4 years have seen a tip to bigots being the ones in power, rather than ranters on the margins of politics. That changes the dynamic. As does the irresposible nature of media that loves a debate, whether that debate is fuelled by genuine opinions based on facts and realties or by fake news, lies and hate. The latter scenario has no place in political and social discussion and yet it is treated now as though it had equal weight. The narrative is becoming ever more like that of the 1930s and we know where that went.

A ...I hope you're feeling much better now, Sue. A double dose of lurgi does not sound good at all.<br /><br />As to the spectre of bigotry, I don't know. I hope it's education and familiarity. There was a comment made in the US media - pre-bigot in charge - where the newscaster said that when firebrand hate speech folk rap on, everyday folk who know someone who is LGBTQ+, well, they think 'but Auntie Jane is not like that'. In a good way, that creeping acceptance and drift into the mainstream is a good thing. Unfortunately, there are those who wish to control the narrative to demonise others.Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182477363609341716.post-58859821248271382372020-02-23T14:10:19.365+01:002020-02-23T14:10:19.365+01:00Hope you're soon feeling better!
