Ignorance Is Bliss

poliphiloOne of the good things about not reading the newspapers is that a number of perennial irritants no longer exist in my world.
For instance I no longer have any idea what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are up to, same with his Majesty the King- and I've forgotten the name of the current PM*. I assume if any of these folk do anything really radical- like dying or starting a war- I shall eventually find out.
As for the World Cup I only knew they were playing the final because my ex-wife texted to say she and her partner were down the pub watching it. I'm still not sure who won. Aliz says she thinks it must have been Argentina because there were riots in France- but I think this is a false assumption because fans who are celebrating are as likely to indulge in riotous behaviour as those who are calling for the ref to be shot.
* Actually this isn't entirely true but I had to think about it. Rishi Sunak ain't it? Or has someone else taken over since I last checked in?
