Hi Jan (and others),
Sorry you find the subject tedious. Going for five years now so doubt if my little tilt at windmills is having an influence on other posts.
Personally I believe the demographic change wrought in my memory is causing huge societal change leading directly to lack of trust in 'the Government' and the rise of votes for 'non of the above' single-issue parties be they Faragistas or the latest manifestation of the hard-left and their bands of useful idiots.
Tedious maybe but it's what's happening and it won't help singing kumbaya or that dreadful 'Imagine' song or closing your eyes, fingers in ears ans going 'Nah Nah Nah .... '
Long hot summer coming up.
