So sick of the “leftie” jibe.

If you care about fairness and looking after the vulnerable, you are labelled a "bleeding-heart leftie".

If you don't make a great public noise of how deeply you care about fairness and looking after the vulnerable, you are labelled "right-wing".

I’m not offended by being branded a ‘leftie’ though I do agree it’s so overused and hackneyed.
