Yeah I do the same. It seems to permeate into everything, even positives.

UK announcing research into x: comments will probably be negative and about how it’s a boondoggle.

UK company doing exciting stuff like fusion or quantum: comments will probably be negative and about how it’s a boondoggle.

It’s tiring.

Edit:

That being said it does lead to hilarious moments where I’ll read the Guardian and see a headline like “The NHS won’t make it to Christmas (for real this time) but it doesn’t matter because we’ll all be dead by then because of Brexit” and then I’ll see the Express in my corner shop with a headline like “Brexit HERO Boris makes Ursula von der Leyen CRY when he announced new BRITISH MOON BASE”
