Jesus effng wept. We're getting more like the US every day. They'd do well not to publicly trash the only liberal democrat people actually still like. |

There is clearly a move in the right, both here and in the USA, to brand people as “socialist” and use the word in a deeply negative context. That way, the general public will see socialism as a “bad thing” but with no real reasoning behind it. I feel sorry for Vince Cable. He seems to be one of the few (if not the only LibDem) taking a sensible approach, but keeps getting slapped down by the right wingers in the coalition. |

Unfortunately his own party hasn't got the balls to stand up for him

I am a socialist. This, to me, is a positive thing. Tell people that the NHS is socialised medicine and they'll probably agree. I also agree with both the Lib Dems and Labour on this issue - making it easier to fire workers will only increase fear for employees and depress consumer confidence. |

When did socialist become a dirty word? |

Since the Tories and New Labour decided "wealth creators" and financiers are more important than everyone else. |

Agreed, but...
The same criticism really has to apply to that sort of comment too. The real problem with modern politics is that nobody has the integrity to recognise that others disagree with them for reasons other than moral inferiority. |

True fact : one of my lecturers at university wore a Superman S t-shirt and in a lecture told us it was because he was a socialist, not because he was a fan of Superman. He was also a total knob, but that's beside the point. Carry on. Mark |

My A level Philosophy teacher also identified himself as a socialist; he had a cat called White Handled Bread Knife, but apart from that he was a great guy. |

None of our teachers identified themselves as anything so cool
