When they're enabling dangerous incompetence, I'll have to speak against them.

Why bother? It's not like you'll change any minds, and speaking about it all the time just gets you in a piss, why waste the time, make yourself look like a moaner, and strain your mental health? Just smile falsely and think them as being stupid.

Because being silent means being an enabler.

So be an enabler

You said it yourself - nothing much is gonna change their minds, and the emotional labour of banging the same drum over and over -which they've probably heard elsewhere, also over and over- does neither of you any good.

Take the world off your shoulders, you'll be happier for it.

Nah, I have dignity.

You seem so angry these days, I think you are wound up tighter than a drum.

Stress is a killer, sometimes you just have to accept the world as it is.

agree so much there

i mean for some it will be a different christmas than normal, but everyone should also just try to relax and not focus on the news solely those few days, stay at home of course, but there are enough fun christmassy distractions on tv, streaming services are filled with great festive movies (Netflix for one has a bunch of older christmas movies acquired, and also few newer christmas movies)


ChristmasFromHome is a nice way to call it


let christmas feeling take our stress away these few days

Every post is an expletive filled rant

There's nothing dignified about being "that guy" who keeps giving everyone a lecture. You're not gonna change anyone's minds, they'll just roll their eyes and wait for you to stop talking.

Except that can and does often work the other way too.

As I do when I see yet another defence of any indefensible incompetent action or non action by those with the power to enact said action.

Why should Dezzy however have to be expected to close down just to please extreme hard-line Tory supporters when they all dive in to support even dangerous action by their government.

Yes, they may never obviously change their stance.
However by the same token, WHY should others just leave unsaid what they think ought to be to point that out?
Just to suit them.

If people don't like what they see posted, then don't read it.
I eventually learned last year to watch myself carefully on here as to some, and not to respond much or at all to some because I'd find it impossible to likely reason with them.

There's even those I wouldn't even bother to read what they say, as I know what will be being spouted off by them.
Just as many on here will do with my posting, particularly on this rotten government.

However as long as I'm a member and permitted to be, I'm not going to shut up to please hard-line Tories.
Otherwise this is then no longer a forum.
