Are you just saying you want to relieve my tension by giving me a massage op? 🙄
Probably depends if it's dynamic or not...
I'm back in the UK for the first time in a year or two in July so I'm interested to see how the UK is bearing up. I've got a feeling that 99% of people are just getting on with getting on.
As to the tension on here. I find there are lots of fantastic contributors on here but, like in life, a few weapons in amongst them. Simply not engaging with this minority does wonders for one's state of mind.
That and avoiding political threads at all costs!
The Past, the Present and the Future walk into a bar.

The atmosphere was tense.
A policital landscape more polarised than I remember in my lifetime
You were not around in the 70s and 80s I presume....
It seems focused around entitlement of sorts, presumably from general exposure to bitter experiences?
More likely from general exposure to, in a world sense, an unbelievably easy existence then finding out that the slightest adjustment feels like the end of the world.
Of course ‘accepting our place in the world’ would be a damned sight easier sell if the effects were felt evenly across our society. However, due to lack of imagination, seeing that the only way we think we can do this is open everything up to spivs and opportunists then bitterness ensues.
It’s funny how some people are getting up tight telling me how there’s no tension in the UK 🤪
