The myth of being 'non-political' ( farrellperks.substack.com )

Something I hear commonly when talking to people, is the dreaded phrase "I'm non-political". Usually said to mean that they either don't know, care, or understand politics. It's likely true that a lot of these people don't understand or know about the intricacies of politics in the UK, but it's usually a complete lie that they don't care. These 'non-political' people are often more political than they realise, or care to admit. Let’s dive into this for a little while.

For me it is a lie, I do care about politics, but I don’t discuss it with friends or family. Feigning ignorance is the easiest way out. I’ve been the third wheel in a 'discussion' where two people argue politics and it's not a nice position.
