These Covid-inspired WhatsApp groups can be interesting. A few months ago we had two young women knocking on doors on a cold Saturday morning, saying they were representing OpenWorld and wanting to know your broadband speed. The one I spoke to was obviously Spanish, and, in fact, she confirmed this when I asked her where she came from in Spain. The other was black.
Within seconds, WhatsApp posts had appeared urging caution. It's a scam-one of them is obviously Romanian... nobodty directly singled out the black woman but.... Lots of joining in (neither girl was above about 5'4" and no threat to anybody but the old and chronically ill.) Then came the indignant replies from the anti-racists.
A battle between the 'woke' and the party of progress right on my doorstep. Who would have guessed? Dismayingly, as far as I can gather from my curtain-twitching observations, it largely seemed like a conflct between the university educated incomers and the proper locals.
