Nearly 9.5 years later & I still can't get this image out of my mind.
These 3 Sunderland folks were used ad nauseum by the BBC to represent the jubilation of the referendum result on 24 June, 2016.
What do they think now? How has life turned out for them?
Are they canvassing for Farage???

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.
When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected.

Ian Carter and myself argued this point here www.whittlespublishing.com/Great_Miscon... - species with high dispersal capacity can typically naturally recolonise suitable habitats IF the original drivers of declines have been remediated.
This was a massive distraction project, intended to draw attention away from the ongoing illegal killing on northern UK grouse moors.

It's like subscribing, and thereby lending support, to a daily version of Hitler's 'Mein Kampf', overflowing with extremely dangerous racist, nazi, bile.
