A politics no-go zone?

If you can have a politics no go zone I want a games-free one.

It could be Maizie - I tend to use my phone for GN. That’s annoying that the desktop version doesn’t have that option.

I don't look at the politics threads generally but saw what Maw had said and agreed. Not an ostrich just sick of same old posters saying the same old things.

Really looking forward to Friday 13th it’s one of our children’s birthday ?

Nah, mine doesn't do that, SirChenjin. If I click on the thread title it just opens the thread. This is in the desktop version. Is it different in the phone version perhaps?

There is a "hide this discussion" option.

It could cause a backlash on Friday ?

That to GracesGranMK3

We do have that option - click on the title of the thread, then click on the little arrow that points downwards on the right hand side and then select hide this discussion.

If only we had the option to hide all threads on a particular topic as per MN then we wouldn’t see the b*ggars at all on our screens.

45 'elderly' folk for Sunday dinner on Friday- and pack and get ready to leave, and get Ye Olde Parish room ready as it is rented for Xmas when we are not here, and the spare rooms for neighbour to borrow for her family - ah that will keep me busy on Friday.

We don't have one, do we mcem? It would be lovely so I hope I'm wrong.

Why not use the Hide this Discussion option if you choose to behave like an ostrich?
Wish I could switch off bloody BJ as easily!

It could be very, very quiet UG, while we all process what has happened, although I have to admit it is unlikely.

If we have a day off tomorrow I bet Friday will be buzzing!

Really? I doubt there will be much chat and you can avoid it. What's the matter with you that you need such rules. I am staggered that you didn't know the media couldn't talk about it.

No one needs to read threads they are not interested in.

I agree Maw the problem is if one does not want politics or games there is very little else.

I agree Maw

MN has a feature which allows you to hide entire threads you don’t want to see but it’s not available on GN for some reason

It is an important day, it's our 49th wedding anniversary and it's been totally overshadowed by this debacle!

But Maw this really is the biggest, most important vote for donkeys years. Of course GN will be overrun with political threads.

Just have a holiday for a couple 9f days?

I want to put my fingers in my ears and scream to be honest ?

I’m going to keep it zipped tomorrow Maw!
?

This is probably the most important election that's happened in my lifetime so why would I want to ignore it? There's nothing to stop anyone ignoring social media/tv/radio etc for a couple of days. And good that those of us that are interested have people to discuss it with.

I can't see there being much to talk about tomorrow. It'll be like a day in limbo.

But I'd agree, no-one is forcing anyone to read the N & P forum, so those who aren't interested, don't bother...

It's surprising the number of people on GN who complain about the political threads and yet have time to read them. The simple answer is - don't.

What Jane said!

It’s been quite an eye opener but has become really tedious.
