I have another question? Why is no news reported anymore? Why do I want to know that Adele has released new music when there are so many more important stories happening around the world? Why are the opposition not thumping the table and shouting to the rooftops over this governments behaviour?
This trumped up panic over Xmas, is a nonsense, so you won’t have all the normal trimmings maybe there will not be enough presents, perhaps a tree will not be available, if these things are concerning you then I think you have missed the point of the festival in the first place! I am all for a celebration and people enjoying themselves but really, is it that big a deal? From what I have seen there appears to be little shortage of anything and certainly not toys! And I object in October, when even our packet of tea has a Christmas label on it!
It is no wonder many are turning away from engaging with politics, or bother with the news. When little is reported that is good news and a lot of news is not reported at all, what is the point? Many have decide, understandably, to not take any notice and just get on with there lives and I confess that even I am coming to that conclusion! We have to look after ourselves and reading about just what is going on in the UK, is enough to send you screaming into the night!
It is difficult to “switch off” after a lifetime of engaging but I think it is better for our mental health, I am not suggesting we divorce ourselves completely from our responsibility as a citizen but it is tempting to do so! The people of this country must hold our leaders to account and I for one will always do so, after all if we do not, who will? Having said that I am trying to “back off”, it’s a difficult thing to do when there is so much injustice!
Stay well
