They have become everything they claim they hate about conservatism - they have just put their own stamp on it.

www.independent.co.uk/Voices is a site that have-a-go writers use when they want to umm have a go.
This is one persons experience, that is the point of the website you used, any one person who wants to write an article can - they get social media bragging rights and maybe something for their CV, the independent gets all of the ad-revenue money, everybody wins.
it hasn't made a national newspaper - its made the 'we will publish your ****ty have-a-go journalism and keep all the ad revenue we make off you' segment of their website.
So back to my original point, one persons experience is just that. Me having the opposite experience would be just that. Doesn't mean much at all. She needs better friends or a taste of the real world, it isnt all picnics and people agreeing with your every word.
