why on earth do you read them then? Don't bother- peace.

I agree Maw. The political threads are so predictable that they're not worth reading. Just people letting off steam and agreeing with those who think exactly like them and disparaging those who don't. Boring and pointless.

Maw If you look up, you'll see a flock of pink 'birds' flying overhead all going 'Oink oink' ! tchwink

Doodle- it does not matter how many there are- your prerogative is to just ignore them. Simple, really.

I was thinking the exact same thing last night MawB!
And I will continue to (mostly) ignore the politics thread - it's going to get nastier on Friday - but I do understand why your post is on the news & politics thread.

Because there are so many. They have taken over all of GN and most of them state the same thing over and over and over again. I’m with you maw although if it were so, it would be the lull before the storm on Friday.

Why can't you just not read the politics threads?

Ah the moon lol.

Perfectly possible for those who do not wish to talk politics tomorrow- to keep away from political threads - and enjoy the peace and quiet- if that is what they wish for.

Enjoy.

I learned today that it is illegal to feature politics in any shape or form on TV or radio tomorrow . (Apart from the Election coverage after the polls have closed.)

Would it be possible for the same embargo to apply to Gransnet - or am I wishing for the moon?
How peaceful it would be.
Or would the vow of silence be more than some could take?
