I didn't actually say that. You suggested I was being victimised for my right-wing views, but I haven't expressed any views on this thread.
The only real view I have given is a desire to leave the EU which was labour party position in the past, so it isn't right wing.
But like a few other posters I get labelled right wing.

Left wing beliefs are usually progressive in nature, they look to the future, aim to support those who cannot support themselves, are idealist and believe in equality. People who are left wing believe in taxation to redistribute opportunity and wealth - things like a national health service, and job seeker’s allowance are fundamentally left wing ideas. They believe in equality over the freedom to fail.

I look to the future, I aim to support those who cannot (note not will not) support themselves, I believe in equality. I believe in taxation to redistribute taxation and wealth, the national health service, JSA.

So I'm left wing.

Right wing beliefs value tradition, they are about equity, survival of the fittest, and they believe in economic freedom. They typically believe that business shouldn’t be regulated, and that we should all look after ourselves. Right wing people tend believe they shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s education or health service. They believe in freedom to succeed over equality.

I value tradition, economic freedom, that we should look after ourselves.

In reality I'm neither and I don't really accept the idea of right wing/ left wing.

The explanation above of right wing on education and health is clearly at odds with the facts. The Tories were in Govt for 34 years from 1950 - 2000 and education and health are free to all through taxation.
