Even this thread, I set out some rules to try and have a discussion - they used to be popular on here before the trolls took over, but you can't help yourself. As I said the other day, it's just boring now - the act is well worn and tired.

Name the trolls.

How anyone still takes Nigel Farage seriously is beyond me.

The guy doesn't even live in the UK anymore, yet he was so pro-Brexit.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of middle ground allowed anymore or open conversations on emotive social issues.

I agree with you 100% that having a middle ground approach to certain Political issues is nigh impossible nowadays, people in the UK in particular feel like they're becoming more and more far right or far left rather than be moderate.

Being woke nowadays does tend to be associated with the far left, but in it's original definition I personally think that it's a good thing, obviously idiots have taken the term and made it a bit more psychotic like that Curry thread on here with the American woman.
