We left the UK 18 months ago and have returned this week to discover a new TV concept called 'The Circle' which seems to be entirely predicated on the gag that Richard Madeley is pretending to be someone called 'Judy' LOL WTF.
Nothing but love for all the people who go online and answer dumb DIY / home electrics / plumbing questions on forums. I owe these people most of my status as an adult.
I've been trying to find an 'optimist's take' which doesn't revert to taking sides, getting angry, or dismissing everyone as a bunch of idiots. It's really hard. But I do believe it's essential. We must work to get back to a situation where nuance and compromise is the norm.
@londongaz@BBCr4today@MrBrendanCox Yep. Straight outta the Trump playbook. The more outraged you get everyone, the better it plays out for you. It's so grim.
