thing is, has there ever been free speech as people think there is. the only thing is that things have got worse over the last few years if you do not agree with the so called liberal thinking of the land. just wondered if those who do not fully agree with this climate change new religeon are classed as trouble making cranks just in the same way as atheists and republicans were thought of when i was growing up.

Of course you are right, but I have to say that the 'liberal' left are becoming less tolerant of any belief other than the ones they hold.
Previously, the society we lived in would tolerate other opinions....other ideologies, religions etc.
What is happening is that there is an organised 'Groupthink' which purports to be the norm.....any deviation from this is seen as being illeducated, thick knuckle daggers and these insults are hurled at those who do not hold the Groupthink ideals.
This is an insidiously dangerous situation.
Our children are being taught in schools WHAT to think, rather than HOW to think and critically analyse what they are told.....so fed pap, that needs no chewing.
