Picture yourself in a boat on the Channel,
With freezing cold water and gunmetal skies.
Arriving in England, you're welcomed with venom
By people with hate in their eyes...

On Yorkshire Day local media went over the Humber to ask people in Yorkshire for their thoughts about Lincolnshire (& vice versa). She'll need more than a Great Exhibition on this evidence 👇...

Lincolnshire voters kicked out the Tories, who had run the county for 20 years, because they were fed up with the decline of the county on their watch, & elected Reform to make a difference.

Carole Cadwalladr was right: illegally scraping people's personal data from Facebook to help the Leave campaign win the #brexit vote was just the start of a full-on invasion by government into the privacy of the individual. Its now legal in the USA & will be here soon.

Bravo Lincolnshire: vote to leave the EU, choose @BorisJohnson's hard Brexit which wrecked farming, complain about farmers doing about the only thing they can to earn a living from the land, then vote Reform to protest the consequences of their own decisions. Genius.

Can't claim to have done a detailed search but don't believe I've seen any appreciation on here of this pinpoint takedown (especially the last part) by Andrew Rawnsley (in Sunday's Observer) of the Reform 'threat'. A week out from the local elections, it should be shared far & wide.
