This ‘culture war’ label really does give me a rye smile. Anything that anyone would probably fit under the ‘culture’ umbrella - music, theatre, comedy, drama, art etc. has and always will be filled overwhelmingly by those with left wing politics. If the right are trying to fight a ‘culture’ war what exactly is their culture they are fighting for? I suppose the definition of culture as in way of life. Things like language, morals, traditions, societal norms - a kind of Sociological culture, rather than luvvies' arty things.

Bizarre that people find that under threat though. All those things naturally evolve over time and are influenced by all sorts. I don’t think anyone has ever been able to point to one thing historically ‘British’ that can’t be done any more. People just don’t like change and always look back on the past with rose tinted specs when they were in their younger years and pine for the most enjoyable years of their lives. Times change, culture changes, technology and science advances, people change. It’s a fact of life.

Trouble is Dan, that when you have to actually confront a straight question or explain exactly why you think something, you go strangely quiet and disappear for a few days. You contribute nothing to a thread except a lot of sneering criticism with nothing to back it up.

I log on after clearing up after a busy family barbecue and Dan's got a yellow! Blimey things must have been hot back there. I suppose if you're going to get a yellow it's gonna be on the culture war thread. I think PV has reported every post I’ve made for about 2 years desperately trying to get me banned so he was bound to get lucky once

You and PV have it going on but I'd rather you both buried the hatchet. We're all years long regulars. Edited by Stirlingsays (25 Sep 2021 9.05pm)
