It is pretty obvious what the political threads are.

Just ignore them.

When I first came onto this board nearly 20 years ago there was only the one forum and everything was on here. People could contribute as they wished and any threads that didn't interest you you just ignored. If you wanted help on something like DIY or what car to get you would often find help on here

Over the years there have been various calls to set up separate forums but the only one that has been established is on politics.

I can perhaps see a point on setting up such a forum temporarily when an election is on and a lot of threads get set up, but otherwise why not do what I do to the Rock music threads that don't interest me, don't read them

It is not rocket science
I started a thread about this on the politics board hours before this one with a post that expressed no opinion at all, just a link to the BBC story on the report because I figured that it was the right place to put it.
