I had a minor melt down on Twitter last night. Everything had got to me.
I don’t think I can follow the news anymore.

I mean, I know I should be informed, and I want to be informed. But it depresses me so much.

from looking at the news I know that my country [I’m not that patriotic] is screwed and being led by incompetents.

Brexit is a bad thing for the UK. It already is a bad thing. It saddens me so much that we have no sense of society.

We have no sense of cohesion with our fellow man. The 20 miles of water between UK and the mainland seem so much more now.

The idea that we would want to be part of something bigger, some society of people, a gang with common interests, that idea is lost.

Parliament MUST vote for the best interests of the country. They must stop this utter madness.

If Brexit depresses me then the actions of the [soon to be] most powerful man on earth make me suicidal.

He is a proven liar. An immoral, racist, misogynist, a child, a narcissist. The rest of his team are largely no better.

Trump is a liar and a pompous prick. Theresa May hasn’t a fucking clue what to do.

I just feel sad at it all. Sad for the loss of humility and humanity.

There have been many times we have needed a strong press, the freedom to investigate, a sense of purpose.
— Ian Parish (@iparish) January 9, 2017
We need a strong press more than ever. But, I fear, the press is dying and there will be little or no “keeping the bastards straight”.

And then:
So, I’m off to watch something funny. Because everything else is just sad.
