Well what does that make them now then.

Loonie left and other terms are all that is left when a decent argument is lost and it is only time for insults left to be flung around at those with differing views.

It is the dafter and more sad thing about politics in the UK,that anyone should be branded by anyone or organisation as to being a 'loony' of any sort just for their opinions.
I find the term loony left grossly offensive,I get it sometimes from those I know who disagree with my change of political leanings.
Off here, they get told and are left in no uncertain terms what I think of them too.

However, Kizzy, if it is that caring for a well supported NHS, that wanting to help,support and see in place protection and security for the most vulnerable, sick and disabled.
To see real jobs, not artificial low paid ones and people earning a living wage.
If that is to be deemed as being a loony from the left, well hey,I am happy to be standing up and be counted with that lot.
Far,far better,in my view, than supporting persecution, discrimination, heartlessness and injustice against such people and issues.
