Thread Name: BS: Where now Thatcher haters?
Subject: RE: BS: Where now Thatcher haters?
Not much one can disagree with there, SF. But "Lefties" seems to me a useful term for those with certain views which are unquestionably towards what is is conventionally thought of as the left-wing of the political spectrum, resulting in predictable attitudes to matters under discussion --
"Lefty may refer to ...
an adherent of left-wing politics" (wikipedia)
: simply a useful term, with no necessarily intrinsic pejorative overtones, to summarise a certain mindset ~~ one which I make no secret of disagreeing with in general, but factual rather than hostile in use and intention.
If you don't like it, what term do you suggest should replace it?
