    clicks on map I have no idea where Boston UK is.

    zooms out on map I still have no idea where Boston UK is.

    zooms way out on map It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere isn’t it? Too far off the M1 corridor to be useful for anything that needs a supply chain. Surrounded by farmland

      Heavily agricultural. They had a lot of eastern european farm labourers. With them came a lot of eastern european organised crime gangs, with the area one of the hardest hit in the country for organised crime.

      It sounds like it was a vote in anger from government disinvestment in rural areas. Not what the article said.
