It is the same topic, viewed from a different angle.

Just so we are clear though, this thread is only for discussing potential incidents of intolerance displayed by those who identify as the political left? That's the impression I get from your extensive summary of events above.

If you want to talk intolerance then maybe the conversation should include the state-induced intolerance towards asylum seekers. If you want to talk free speech then maybe we should at least touch upon the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act.

But you never do want to talk about these things do you. You want to talk about a millionaire senior government minister getting shouted at by a rabble.
Again, nothing to say about the matter in hand? Instead, ignore it (and gaslight anyone mentioning it), think it's all fine, change the topic onto something else, go for ad hominem attacks and then make a few nudge nudge wink wink comments about millionaire senior government ministers.

There's plenty of topics to talk about all the things you've mentioned. They are routinely discussed. They are different to the topic here, which you seem to think is fine, perhaps because you are intolerant of different opinions yourself? I'm just speculating on that last point of course.

You also went off on one before I said it was a growing problem too btw. I initially highlighted it as a problem.
