Do those reasons include the sunlit uplands, the fields of unicorns and the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow

Sharing some of the upland willows that Trust volunteers spotted on a recent trip to Dùn Coillich, Highland Perthsire. Annotated photos are meant to help with ID, but willows are famously variable and often hybridise. Share your willow finds with us ⤵️

Its definitely factor 50 everyday on those sunlit uplands.

Yes please to more nature and fewer fleecy stores for the sheepwrecked uplands of Mid Wales.

Meanwhile, the arrogance and entitlement displayed by Bards of the Fleece around my way is staggering.

No farmers, no food they say.

I say: no nature, no food, no farmers.

I fundamentally disagree with that.

When people weigh up the benefits against the status quo, having lived in a post-EU world, the choice for many will be obvious.

The loud voices who promised “Sunlit Uplands” will try to fight old battles but the strategic landscape has changed.

Bollocks. It was a vote directed by pathos and lies. The subsequent economic, political and geopolitical fallout have demonstrated this. There never will be ‘sunny uplands’ for a UK that is adrift in a world of alliances and mega-trade deals.

These polls are not the definitive answer to everything - see the link.

Both support and opposition to EU may be soft. It depends a lot on how arguments on both sides are made. Brexiters are now for the status quo.

"Sunlit uplands" will sound hollow.

This is testament to No.10's frankly astonishing degree of political competence. A policy which was branded electoral suicide 48 hours ago now showing signs of robust popularity.
Support outnumbers opposition in every age group, including those most affected:
-> 55-64: 61% support, 16% oppose
-> 65+: 55% support, 27% oppose

8/9

This is where the far-right simply blame ethnic minorities and EU immigrants.

"We were a fantastic country until all these people started coming here."

Farage is offering a return to the sunlit uplands by kicking out ethnic minorities...

'Sunlit uplands' in #brexitbritain: 'There must be many who advocated #brexit, and more who voted for it, who know in their hearts that it was a mistake or, at the very least, recognize that it can no longer be convincingly defended.' […]

Man, hybrid cattail has destroyed connectivity between so many Midwestern lakes and adjacent wetlands and uplands. Pictured is Utica Lake, Waukesha County, WI with adjacent tamarack fen behind the cattails.

Maybe the 'sunlit uplands' were rejoining the EU all along...?

Exactly. You promised the sunlit uplands. Where are they?

He has to tread carefully, but he knows it’s the only way to secure this little island from geopolitical storms.
The Red Wall: they’ve lived through the reality of the ‘Sunlit Uplands’ and know it’s utter bullshit.
A fabricated story for rich elites to avoid taxes!

We need upland hillsides covered in gorse feeding nitrogen into the soil & sheltering the young trees we need covering hills currently bare & almost devoid of ability to hold water.

Peat is a fine carbon store until it dries out, as many uplands currently designated peatlands will. Then it’s fuel.

Trans people's feeds are now filled with cis people talking about how great the sunlit uplands are going to be.

Trouble is, we still can't use the toilets at the Sunlit Uplands Visitor Centre.

I agree. Clever voter psychology too: it flips 2016 on its head. Rejoining becomes the new “sunlit uplands”, while staying out becomes the supposedly rational choice that’s increasingly hard to justify emotionally after the shit show of the last decade.
