No, not really. The whingers need to get it into their heads that most of us simply don't care either way, and the only people who listen are their little whinging chums, who are all sad little nobodies anyway. It's so juvenile even primary school children don't listen to it.
There's anough for us old timers to grumble about - young people, lack of manners, decimal currency, the reduced sugar content in Werthers Originals - without sad people with empty existences adding to it.
If they support it, they got what they want, now be quiet. If people don't support it they've had five years to put their money where their mouth is and move to any euopean country of their choice. Either way, just act your age and shut the f[NEXT 25 PAGES OF APOPLEPTIC RANTING DELETED BY MODS]

Absolutely, I wouldn't want to suggest any country is responsible for the virus or its' variants. From what I've read the UK seems to be doing a very good job scientifically all round.
I didn't know that. You live and learn.

Even my bunch of cycling pensioners have given up on this one, apart from the odd groan and grumble, and this in a group whose views range from left of Trotsky to right of Thatcher

That’s not how democracy works , dear boy . When we were in the EU people campaigned for us to leave . Now we have left people will campaign for us to rejoin . Any decision taken by a democracy can be reversed by reversed by a democracy.
Not looking to pick a fight , just a general comment. As I have put else where it’s definitely best if we let this topic drop .

That’s the same at my sailing club . We have a wide selection of political views and we stay away from these topics as we want to stay friends . It’s definitely best if we do the same .

I don't have a problem with any of that, just so long as they stick to bickering among themselves. Dragging the uninterested into arguments, making lives a bleating misery for those who don't care is not democratic.
True democracy would respect everyone elses right to a quiet life.
Politics makes religion look like a rank amateur when it comes to ruining peoples lives and I'm happy to have as little involvement as possible in any aspect of party politics. Sadly, people don't seem able to step out their front door, or log online, without airing their unsolicited opinion on matters of little interest to many, many people. The last decade, and the last 5 years in particular, have made tv, nespapers, my beloved radio, even the pub virtual no go areas for people who simply don't want to hear it.
The good thing about forums is that there is an ignore function, and I don't like using it but when otherwise resonable people are so politically maladjusted that they can't help but air their political views to an audience that has already told them is unwilling to be forced to listen to it, well...

A bit sexual tension would be most welcome. Or talk about machine guns. Or bicycles. Or even retirement stuff!
Going back to topic, just today I was talking to Mrs D about me getting a part time job once I've eventually had my covid jabs. The downside is I'll get massively reamed for tax, which is a major disincentive to do so. Guess I'll just keep my ear to the ground.
