During the summers not too long ago, when politicians were on vacation and schools were closed, news in the UK often featured stories about things like cats in trees and UFOs, because there wasn't much else to report.

It was called "silly season" in the UK — of course there was other news, but not the usual daily politics, so there was more time for happier stories.

But some may feel like there isn't time for silly season these days.

And according to a recent study, thinking about the news is making British people anxious, something that's causing some of them to avoid engaging with it.

It also means they're less likely to engage with politics, the study suggests.

Researchers spoke to 43 people in the UK who said they never or rarely engage with professionally made news, whether that's on television, in newspapers or online.

The research was published in September 2022, but the interviews took place between November 2016 and March 2017, not long after the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU).

However, for most, it may not have been leaving the EU that caused them to avoid the news. Many reported feeling anxious or afraid when thinking about news stories featuring crime, war or terrorism.

People did think that they should know a little bit about global and national events, but this wasn't always enough to make them follow the news.

Many felt they could not understand the country's politics, or that political news was not relevant to them.

For politicians themselves, this could be a challenge, suggests the study — trying to communicate with those who avoid the news.

AHUAUTLE 1
Se piensa que el ahuautle es de huevos de mosco, sin embargo, se trata del huevo del axayácatl, un tipo de chinche de agua. Su nombre proviene de los vocablos en náhuatl “atl” (agua) y “huautli” (semilla de la alegría o amaranto), por lo cual, significa “amaranto de agua”. Basta con ver estos huevecillos para entender que el parecido con los granos de amaranto es inmenso. Aunque sin duda, el parecido con el amaranto solo es superficial pues el ahuautle posee un olor penetrante y un sabor único, que difícilmente se puede olvidar.
Muchas personas han comparado su sabor con el del camarón, sin embargo después de haberlos probado podemos decir que el sabor de estos huevecillos es fuerte e incomparable y solo podrá entenderlo quien lo haya degustado.
Según Gilberto Contreras Rivero, profesor del área de Ecología en la Facultad de Estudios Profesionales Iztacala, el ahuautle es el caviar mexicano por excelencia. Cabe señalar que hay quienes le otorgan este título a los escamoles, que pertenecen, junto con los huevos de mosco, a la orden de insectos Hymenoptera.
El consumo del ahuautle comenzó durante la época prehispánica. Se dice que era presentado en la mesa de los emperadores -Moctezuma, por ejemplo-, quienes se deleitaban comiéndolos recién sacados del lago a la hora del desayuno. Y es que tanta era la preferencia por este platillo que incluso cada 52 años -duración del siglo mexica-, este caviar se utilizaba en las ceremonias dedicadas al dios del fuego: Xiuhtecuhtli. Durante estos rituales, después de que seres humanos eran sacrificados, se encendía fuego sobre su pecho vacío -pues previamente se había extraído el corazón- y se rociaban huevecillos de axayácatl sobre el cadáver que iba vestido como Xiuhtecuhtli.
Dato curioso: El culto al axayácatl fue de tal magnitud que así se le nombró al sucesor del emperador Moctezuma I y padre de Moctezuma II.
