As I said, there have always been people with extreme views shouting people down.
There's plenty of evidence of growing political intolerance. I fully understand that people with extreme views have always shouted people down, but they were usually condemned properly. Is this happening now? We have people protesting (ironically whilst purporting to object to hatred) 'tory scum' (which Angela Rayner of course was happy to say) to a very rational minded politician stating a perfectly valid biological point, which no doubt some will disagree with, but he should be allowed to be heard.

Here's some evidence (from the US)

Admittedly, this doesn't show a change over time, but a third of Labour voters being upset over their child marrying someone who votes differently. I'd say this is a sign of intolerance. And look how intolerant of different opinions some of those 'remainers' are! Surely, we shouldnt normalise this?

And thats without talking about the examples on twitter and other stories from university campuses.

I just don't understand why you tried to change the topic? There's plenty of spaces to talk about other issues. Why not this one?
