To fume or not to fume...


Apparently the UK political party conferences have just finished. For the first time ever I managed to live through them without listening to a single word. Not one. Did I miss anything? I think not.

Lots of reasons why I didn't bother. Complete lack of interest is right at the top of the list. It's what they do that really matters. All I need to know is that the fools still think party conferences worthwhile and they still have something to say worth listening to.

Sometimes I think political views hinge on how angry you are prepared to be. The situation is so bad, we could be very angry indeed, but life is there to be lived and we can’t go round fuming all the time.

I agree - that's the worst I've ever felt about politics in party terms. Zero interest, which is possibly how they want it.

JH - yes there are advantages to apathy as they must know.

The best sentence I have read for weeks. Thank you.
