>> Why do the left feel the need to dismiss people who holds a different opinion
>> to them as some sort of deranged lunatics?
1) I'm not the left. Once again, for the avoidance of doubt, I have never voted Labour, but have voted Tory a few times, although mostly voted LibDem.
2) Lunatics? How about "Looney Left"? Good choice of word to show how it cuts both ways. The Express/Mail/Telegraph/UKIP - I'm quite happy to brand "Looney".
Anyway, I'm not bashing the "Looney Right". I'm bashing the "Looney Outs". This referendum is clearly not a right/left issue - the late Tony Benn would have been firmly with "Out". George Galloway is "Out". If you agree with those two, are you a Looney Leftie?
