We received this odd communication today in the format of a local free newspaper.
It is published by Hope Not Hate, and contains a collection of perkily upbeat pieces of local community news.
I assume that the optimistic and inclusive tone is pitched to counter the Reform Ltd narrative of "broken Britain".
Although I find the relentless perkiness mildly amusing, I heartily approve of the general intent.

Support your local independent food vendors!

Pizza Society on Team Valley in #gateshead, a minute off the A1 is tremendous.

£3.50 for a slice of thin crust pepperoni and hot honey, some of the best pizza I've had in years.
