Cambridge cultural contrasts.

On Jesus Green, the 5th River Rights Festival was held by the Friends of the Cam. A very twee, middle-class gathering with earnest choir songs about climate change.

On Midsummer Common, there's the Midsummer Fair. A gaudy, lairy celebration; the youth look like they're auditioning for TOWIE.

At the boathouses, a winning college rowing crew celebrates with a bottle of fizz after the May Bumps.

The press has reported on fears of clashes between rowers and fairgoers, highlighting the clash of cultures.

🌊 I want Napitahtaa 🧜🏽‍♂️ (the Oldman River) to be revived. 🌱🌾 #Lethbridge should be treating runoff meticulously before it (re)enters the river. We could use artificial wetlands & #aquaponics systems. We could include tilapia & water lilies for purification. 🌿🐟 We can ensure safe, clean water, backed by legally protected #riverrights for Napitahtaa & aquatic life. We can design for the future, ecologically braiding technology with nature! 🌍💧 #EcologicalRestoration #CleanWater #ClimateChange
