It's got nothing to do with me,and I'm not really interested anyway.

"All this fuss going on at the moment about the lack of government funding for pre-school childcare so mothers can work? Sorry,not my circus not my monkeys". (From an old Polish proverb).

not my circus, not my monkeys

absolutely nothing to do with you, usually used to have an opinion on something which you're not entitled to an opinion on. You're acting like someone who is judging a circus, its not yours, you have no part in it, so it doesn't matter to you. It can also be used if you don't like something offered to you.

its a bad idea... but whatever, not my circus, not my monkeys
