And, yes, it is being amplified and reposted by exactly the sorts of accounts you would expect. In fact, the BBC journalist at the helm of this fearless project, seems to be grateful for and eager to amplify praise from accounts with pretty big "pinned post" alarm bells. 🤷🏽♂️

Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social · 2mo agoRemember when Remainers warned that Brexit might cause Irish border problems – 'Project Fear!'?
