Change your news sources.

Watch / listen to local news. You’re more likely to hear an uplifting story about a local woman who is retiring from being a lollipop lady after 70 years, and local volunteer efforts to contribute to Localtown’s Britain in Bloom pitch and how you can get involved. Albeit it might be tempered by a story about frustrating roadworks on the only access route to the motorway.

Just don’t watch it. I never watch it and I’m very happy

Just turn it off.

Call me crazy, but given the fact that Trump is about to declare war with Europe, I think it's worth knowing about how that's going to impact each and every one of us in very real and scary ways.

Stop watching. I gave up TV news early in the pandemic, because it was such a lot of twaddle. It's also bern very dumbed down for many years. I find that Radio 4 and a couple of decent newspapers keep me well-ibformed, and I never feel overwhelmed.

Hard to turn off when its all over social media and I live in northern ireland trust me my local news is just as bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry should have worded this better its not that I watch the news at 6pm etc its constantly on social media outlets and its just hard to switch off from it

Hmm my local news is also full of bad news! But I like to know what sort of crimes are being committed in my local area and whether there's a spate of car thefts, house break-ins, etc nearby.

Don't watch it haven't watched the news in years if anything significant happens you hear about it on here

Perspective helps, at the risk of sounding like a Billy Joel song there has always been something, even recently. When I was a kid, the Falklands were invaded, IRA were bombing the UK and there was the serious threat of nuclear war. Famine in sub-saharan Africa. Then as a teenager Iraq mark 1, there was a horrific war and massacre in former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Somalia. A few years later 9/11, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq #2, constant terror threat, austerity, Brexit, Covid, Ukraine, rise of the far right, Trump, Putin. Lots of other things I've forgotten. I try and stay away from it, and just watch the new once a week or so or my head can't hope with day to day things.

Shame the world hasnt changed much from that 😪

100%

Countries have been at war for a very long time why are you just worried about Trump? Russia and Ukraine are still not great he's threatening nuclear bombs every other week

A NATO country declaring war against another NATO country would lead to unprecedented worldwide chaos with deep and lasting repercussions for the whole world, in a way that is, apparently, not fully understood by most people because NATO has ensured so much stability across the Western world for so long.

What social media do you have?

Too flipping much 🙄

I watch GBnews sometimes.
If war happens it happens couldnt give a toss.
Other than that i watch something else.

Will you give a toss if the price of everything goes up 25%? Will you give a toss if Trump starts to drop bombs on Europe? Will you give a toss if life in the UK becomes unbearably difficult because it's impossible to access a lot of the things currently imported to the UK from America (cars, medicines, antibiotics, fuel, machinery) because we are at war with them?

Sorry? You couldn’t give a toss if oil supplies to Europe are stopped? That our technology is messed with to our detriment? You couldn't give a toss?How ignorant

Yeah, the news can't just be a series of nice things that have happened throughout the day. People need to know what's going on and usually it's not great news. Especially with trump in the whitehouse

@Archymum and @Whosthetabbynow .

No and No.

Bizarre

What??

@Ahhhblissful do you have endless money and a protected personal supply of all resources in the world? Because if the answer to either of those questions is no, you need to give a toss. People who say "I don't follow politics" are about to realise that politics follows them.
