Re: Liberals
Nunyabiznes,
"But everywhere in the West "conservative" is used as an insult - but that's ok, right?"
But just like 'Liberal' it has different meanings depending on where you are !!!
In the UK 'Conservative' is used as an insult because many have experienced both 'Thatcher' and never ending austerity. If you are not in the City of London or the majority of the Southern part of England, both of these experiences did not improve life and this was reflected in the BREXIT debacle ( for both sides !!!).
