It is only the Lefties who call for a bloke to be sacked or (as the pompous, patronising Lefties like to say) "given a stern talking to, NOW!!" because he just happened to be wearing a shirt (and a very nice one at that) with pictures of women on it.
It's only the Lefties who show outrage and start bullying someone online because they decided to ride a motorbike without a helmet on.
It's only the Lefties who showed outrage and ganged up on Ellie Goulding on Twitter, bullying and abusing her and calling her "a racist", because she wore a Red Indian costume for a fancy dress party.
None of this perpetual, holier-than-though, pompous moral outrage is perpetrated by those on the Right. It's ALL perpetrated by those on the Left. The Left have always been like this, but until now they've always struggled to get their holier-than-thou, pompous, perpetual outrage out there in the public arena and it's always been limited to complaining to their sandal-wearing friends about it over the mung beans and Fairtrade elm tea at Islington dinner parties. But now, since the invention of Twitter and Facebook, they're able to get their views out there in the public arena, and they've bullied and upset a lot of people in recent times (the ESA guy, Goulding etc) with their moral outrage over little things that most of us don't see as anything to be outraged at.
I noticed that you've taken to just writing silly little comments rather than pointing out what I'm saying wrong. Is that because I'm right?
No, it's because I don't administer medicine to the dead. It's a waste of good medicine.
You got a lot of fu€klet posts these days. That's more than passive aggressive.
Well if we are going to change something the first step is to stop living in denial about it.

Well, it's a change from "natural."
Michigan couple threatens to sue local rec center for showing Fox News.
"They said they started going to the county’s recreation center on Washtenaw Avenue last fall and were dismayed to see Fox News show up on four of the 12 television screens in the cardio area during election season.."
outrageous I tell you.
'dismayed'.

Comedy writer trials coming up perhaps.
As a life lesson he should know you are like an egg-stain on a chin, you can rub it all you want, it isn't going to go away.
Probably caused more high pb problems than the rowing machines. Perhaps watching 12 TV's at the same time is the exercise.
"Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink (chirp) while thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field — that, of course, they are many in number or that, after all, they are other than the little, shrivelled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome insects of the hour."
Irish author Edmund Burke in his book Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790). Burke was against the French Revolution and he served as the Whig MP for Wendover (in Buckinghamshire) and for Bristol, then England's second-largest city. His quote above is also apt to describe the Left-wing Twitterati who spout venom and foam at the mouth over the slightest little things.

I imagine the Shape of the Onion speech should provide plenty of foaming outrage and hatred.
If George Carlin was alive today, you know what he'd be doing? That's right--scratching at the roof of his coffin.
(Sorry George--but you would have laughed, admit it.)
