Isn’t it funny how people from all races and religion get on all over the country without any bother. Yet the media seem hell bent on creating divides? |

I’d agree with you and that’s what I do but you can’t ignore it forever and I’m starting to realise that simply ignoring the “news” isn’t beneficial because before you know it you’ve been overwhelmed by woke! |

I’d agree with you and that’s what I do but you can’t ignore it forever and I’m starting to realise that simply ignoring the “news” isn’t beneficial because before you know it you’ve been overwhelmed by woke! The news is chock full of misery. When I talk with my kids about stuff, I realise how little attention they pay to the “news” that obsesses certain miserabilists on this message board. They are too busy getting on with their shit. They don’t give a fuck about Boris, Nippy or whoever other than to say they are both shite. I’m minded when I was young, the world was going to hell in a hand cart then. Just like today. Just like it was 10 years before that. Just like it will be in 10 years time. I’m a firm believer in taking control of your own agenda as much as is possible. One way is to avoid wallowing in the sort of misery you can find on main stream as well as social media. We all have shit to deal with in our lives. We don’t need to burden ourselves with fabricated and exaggerated misery. So… Stay positive, stay happy. Keep fighting. |

I avoid the news these days mate, not watched or read it for about 4 years now . Obviously I still hear about what's going on and still have the odd search from time to time if I over hear something that sounds interesting but apart from that I aren't interested. |

I’m constantly forcing myself to look at the positives, but it gets draining to the point where I just moan about stuff I shouldn’t even give a second thought! The littlest thing winds Me up |

The littlest thing winds Me up I spend my time looking to do good stuff… read a good book, watch a good film, listen to some music, play the piano (I’m learning… very slowly), cook something you like, most of all… get out and about. I led a group of 7 folk up a mountain outside Pitlochry today and had a great time. Tomorrow I’m heading out with a pal on our mountain bikes. Not sure yet what we’ll do. But it will be good! Life is fucking amazing. I think I’m posting this on the wrong thread though! |

So, I’m cool with that. |

The littlest thing winds Me up 7 billion people living on the planet, each basically living in their own world , as shit as this country has become if you ignore the rest as much as possible and focus on your own world it's easier . I'm basically my own government 😁 |

I'm chuckling here at the irony of those who say they don't bother with the news these days and then spend a lot of time falling out over current affairs shit on the EE board.  OS. |

For some people life isn't amazing, it's a struggle...obviously they have to make the most of " The cards they are dealt"...but it isn't always easy...cancer, wheelchair users,death of a child, blind etc Also , sometimes I think you have to get involved in things you might not like if you want to do the right thing or to try to make things better. |

Life can be both a struggle and amazing, but it ain’t easy. Particularly if you are have been dealt a shitty hand. A very close relative of mine goes into surgery tomorrow for cancer treatment. She has a long, uncertain road ahead of her. We’ve discussed at length the power of positivity and how hard that is. In her circumstances she is having to recalibrate her life, resetting her thoughts about lots of things which includes discovering new pleasures and delights. It is possible to do this. But, again, much harder for people facing huge challenges. Which should make those of us in more fortunate circumstances reflect on our advantages. |

Meanwhile, half a mile away some poor fuckers house is being burgled. I get policing by consent but I see the relationship between me and the police force as similar to parent and child. No parent should consider their children as their best friend. As a parent there should be that separation. The police are there to enforce the law and to keep us (relatively) safe. They are not there to be our mates! |

Absolutely boils my piss. Easier to get a copper to dance that attend to a crime 🤬 It's a shame they weren't this enthusiastic about stopping the BLM rioters or when someone gets burgled. And they wonder why they've lost a lot of respect with the ordinary British public 😒 |
