Never kissed a Tory
Discussion
This appears to be a thing now.

Supposed intolerance of intolerance. The young are discarding friends and on occasions even family if they are suspected of being members of the far right. LBC yesterday had a call in and quite a few callers appeared to be fully on board with this.
Personally, I have no tolerance for fascists or racists either but it seems the young include regular Tory voters and brexiters as all members of the far right.
Where are we headed with this? it seems to be a very unhealthy stance.

Is this actually a thing?
Seems like some more nonsense for old reactionaries to get upset about.
Are people really asking who people vote for before kissing them?
If we’re going by party membership then the conservative members are generally quite old so it’s even more unlikely that old people are asking about political party membership before kissing each other.

All it does is promote division between people, from the same people who complain the loudest at any form of exclusion. The left are just a meme at this point.
Because tories aren't perceived as a marginalised group - they are the oppressors. At least viewed as such. And it's a joke...
It's all a bit juvenile but that does seems to be about the level of 'intellectual' debate in Labour circles (think 6th from debating society). Angie kicked it off with her scum comments, Uncle John thought that Esther should be hung, some Labour activists also got a bit hangy and wrote it on a bridge and then we have this. Whatever next - a gentler kinder politics perhaps?
Grrr! Stupid people get angry by thing they've been told to get angry about by newspaper shocker! Just more clickbait nonsense - it seems even the Telegraph isn't immune to wanting to make money from their customers anger.
Hint : You're being played and monetised if you actually get angry at this non-story.

It's hilarious to see the snowflakes melt though. Hint : You're being played and monetised if you actually get angry at this non-story.

it absolutely is not a thing. it's just an inflammatory story pushed to kick up a storm about nothing.Seems like some more nonsense for old reactionaries to get upset about.

Meh. There are a few “no Tories” lines on Tinder et al. I suppose there’s a difference between a Tory and a Conservative voter, but either way I just read it as “I don’t like successful business people”. 
I'd have thought they would have liked someone to pay the bill, rather than a progressive who is expecting split the billGassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
