@johnelworthy @Conservatives @CambsCops @reformparty_uk Maybe he didn’t like the flag being upside down? I don’t think that’s illegal though…

.@Conservatives Mayor of Wisbech called- Cllr Sidney Imafidon - called @CambsCops today to accuse @reformparty_uk of a hate crime. What did @reformparty_uk do to attract such accusations? A handful of @reformparty_uk volunteers took a market stall in Wisbech to hand out leaflets and chat to shoppers. And that's it. Police quickly dismissed the allegations. Not sure if Mayor is being questioned about wasting police time

@anna4labour @bphillipsonMP Do you have a view on home education, @anna4labour?

It was such a privilege to welcome @bphillipsonMP to Peterborough!

@johnelworthy Do join Bluesky as many are leaving this place! But hope to see you sometime in the capacity of someone enjoying local delights as well as further afield. Happy Retirement!

By way of explanation – and for those who have followed me for some time – some personal news. As of March 14th, I officially began the retirement that #Newsquest prematurely advanced nearly 3 years ago with its restructuring in Cambridgeshire but decided the time was not right to say goodbye. Within days – and helped by some amazing friends – CambsNewsOnline launched. However, I have decided to severe all connections with CambsNews Online which has been my pride and joy since the adventure began with little preparation but achieved modest success in the period that followed. I shall be 74 in April, enjoying (very much) married life and love living in a delightful Cambridgeshire town. I want more time to follow other pursuits without being tied to the daily grind involved in running a busy news website. Which will mean more adventures, days out, and breaks with my very special partner who I was lucky enough to find and marry. So that is it really. It has been an amazing time, and I have loved my time with CambsNews, and only a few loose ends to tie up and that will be that. My friend Terry Harris, who helped launch it, has seemingly decided to plough ahead with it and did the essentials behind the scenes such as setting up domain names, monitoring views, and urging me throughout to become more business oriented and to make it not only a journalistic success but also a business success. The first enthralled me, the latter not quite my cup of tea. I simply enjoyed researching, writing, and investigating. And there was plenty of that to do as many would appreciate. I shall stay on X, of course, and I have even subscribed to enable me to write some longer pieces when the mood takes me.

@anna4labour @NikJohnsonCA @CambsPboroCA Looking forward to it reaching further north!

I can’t begin to say how thrilled and proud I was to join @NikJohnsonCA in taking a @CambsPboroCA Tiger On Demand bus on the day of the Fenland launch. Here are some ‘behind the scenes’ shots of our trip. Do sign up and use this great new service. ….cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk/buses/tiger-on…

Y’all, this is why men should not be making decisions about women’s reproductive health.

Thank you! The Wild Robot is a genuine delight and audiences have been moved and entertained across the run. Beautiful too!

Cool movie, and great to have an #IndieCinema like @LuxeWisbech to watch it in. Particularly liked @MarkHamill being in it! Teen suitably impressed I knew who he was 👀😏 #TheWildRobot

As our Instagram and Facebook following grows, our Twitter seems to slowly fall, bit by bit. Soon we'll be sitting here, on an island, on our own, talking to some cows, about how it used to be. So we tweet on, cows against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

@ACarpenDigital @Sam_in_Cam @CambsUnitaries @heidiallen75 That is a better way of putting it :) cc @dantaylor42

@Sam_in_Cam @ACarpenDigital @CambsUnitaries @heidiallen75 They know we have a grammar school? More interesting and more accessible heritage? The best Georgian Street in the country? A Circus like Bath? Having grown up near Cambridge, lived and worked there, am seeing it become more pompous as the years go by!

@Sam_in_Cam @ACarpenDigital @CambsUnitaries @heidiallen75 Pretty sure Wisbech doesn't need to be a Hub, we're good thanks. I may have said something less polite when I read it...

@aurorawatchuk Thanks for the heads up!

@oldenoughtosay @GingerGorman Yeah, how many times a day are you asking?

@wisbechstandard @guardian @ACarpenDigital @FenlandCouncil @borofergie Please share an interesting positive link to Wisbech, family connection to Lee Miller, a great Q and A at the Luxe, support them to do it again?

@knotsrtricky Either no-ones noticed or they think Wisbech is for negative news, anything positive is a random event that isn't worth reporting. Visitors to the town that I speak to are here for a reason, and then pleasantly surprised by what they find, wd be gd if they came thru good press

Pity media isn't picking up on this positive connection to Wisbech, we only see negative press 😞 #CapitalOfTheFens #KateWinslet #LeeMiller

@ACarpenDigital 'Greater Cambridge'? Where's the space, and how does Tempsford fit in, with the intention for massive numbers of housing. Not good for so much of the area. Really changing it, for why? :(

@lornadupre @johnelworthy That's why they invented the wayback machine :) all websites are copied at various points in history, so it is likely you'll find what you need there (search wayback machine or Internet archive)

@johnelworthy What would be interesting would be if someone with much better technological skills than mine could recover Cllr Boden's now-deleted web page for his election to City of London. If I recall correctly (and of course I can't check because the page is now disappeared) [1/?]

@JohnMcArts Love that dress! Congratulations!

A bit of news 📰 - after 23 glorious years together, Alice et moi finally tied the knot 🪢💍 at a tiny civil ceremony in Lancaster, the splendid city where we first met 🏰. We aim to have a proper friends & family wedding party hopefully next year, so watch this space 🎊🔎
