Why are Brits so left-wing? [60]
Most British people I've spoken to are pretty left-wing politically
That is probably about right. The only reason the 'conservative' party won is because Labour did so horrendously badly, but the conservatives in Britain, even though David Cameron is supposedly a Christian, are more financially right wing than morally. Not like PiS in Poland, who are financially more to the left but morally very right.
They seem to be pro-gay rights, pro diversity, non-religious and extremely proud of their country being multicultural.
That pretty much hits the nail on the head in general terms but remember
Pro diversity - They have to be since they have now allowed and legalized so much
Proud of being multicultural - Same as the above. They've shot themselves in the foot with opening the gates wide open and now, even though it causes them more trouble than ever, they like to pretend the country is fine and they are proud of British meaning, almost any race under the son. It's a cover. If they could get rid of blacks and Asians they would do it in a heartbeat, but it's too late.
I hope Poland does not follow in their footsteps, it is not too late for them, yet, but it might be soon.
Side Note/ I did a stand up comedy gig tonight. The guy before me was black. He did some poor jokes about how he doesn't understand directions from white people but does understand them from black people. Honestly it wasn't that funny but got a big [and obvious] white guilt laugh. I went up, did some stuff about how white people are so scared to say a anything these days and worry about accidently being racist [like lets place chess, I wanna be white so I can go first]. The black audience [not many of them] found it funny enough but the white liberal pussy footers in the front row were silent as a mouse. Perhaps I wasn't funny, but they laughed at the black guy. Perhaps I only make black people laugh. Just an example of how messed up it is in Britain [similar in the US I would think]. In Poland no one would be afraid to laugh at the stuff. It wasn't even anything racist, just observational humour about race.
