The Cambridge definition is one expanded definition. They all use different wording with the basic definition stating a bigot is intolerant of differing opinions, then going on to state especially in this or that circumstance ie religious intolereNce etc. But basically we each and everyone of us meet the basic definition with you being at the lower end of tolerance of non-socialist views which still makes you a bigot no matter how much you try to deny it.

If patriotic is simply loving your country of birth, then I'm patriotic about N. Ireland. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I also love the Republic of Ireland, where I have lived for a time, have relatives there and frequently holiday there. I also quite like the UK, where I also have relatives in England and Scotland.
N. Ireland people relate more to those in the ROI (we are more alike) than we do to those in the UK, even though we are part ot the UK and most want to remain so - the majority don't really want a United Ireland or are totally against it. It's all a bit mad, isn't it?

Just sat listening to stories of people who have been helped in the snow

residents coming out with food and hot drinks
people offering lifts to hospital appointment
people digging other people out of the snow
people coming out in their tractors and 4 x 4s to rescue people who are stuck
taxi firms getting their drivers to tow people home



amazing

True, it would be nice to see a front page headline about it, but I doubt that will happen

Do the Guardian do ‘nice pieces’? All they ever seem to do is support the Corbynites who want to overturn a public vote and whinge about Brexit. They whinge and bloody whine at every given opportunity with little to no respect for a public vote. Nasty rag in my opinion.

Don’t start him off on that one. Lefties do not take criticism of their precious Corbyn or any mention of Brexit very well.

Unlikely, as afaik I don't share your opinions, Brillo. I'm left of centre, open-minded about Corbyn and absolutely detest Brexit and consider myself European before everything else.

If I valued your opinion maybe that would bother me - but I don’t. You were simply as predictable as ever.
