"Why I'm utterly sick of going for a walk" strikes at British culture in a very particularly Guardianish way. Then we have a class diatribe and a Brexit moan. I'll give you the marmalade.

The walk thing I just found amusing, my parents loved walking but I hated it as a kid, came to appreciate it more.

Then in the lockdown with a small child, with one nice walk nearby, walking it again and again it goes so boring - it resonated as something funny, it seems like people are looking for things to be offended by?

It's also funny as Guardian readers are right in the "going for a walk" demographic - it's poking fun at themselves.

Given that Brexit is by any objective measure an act purely of destruction, born of fear and selfishness, I think a moan might be justified.

I fear that your objective judgements may be biased.
