Cornwall also has a lot more clement weather. The Lake District is beautiful....but also very bleak. More people are attracted to warmer climes I guess.

I think this discussion you're having shows how the social media / Twitter thing of reducing a story to a couple of sentences ends up missing the point of the issue. It was the Lake District tourist guy using words like 'diversity' and 'white', which seems to be trigger words to set off a 5-page debate.
It might be a help to copy and paste a whole article about the story. When you read it the main point of contention (which is being missed) seems to be how much car-access to allow in the area - whether to put down tarmac in a certain area. Quote:
Here's a nice picture for the Tapatalk thumbnail. Loughrigg Tarn lake in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria. |

One person had said there is an issue, that doesn’t make it true

We visited the Lakes before the kids were born, never felt the need to take them there, if families go on a day out or for a holiday in the UK they tend to head to the coast as there is a mixture of activities

Its not an offensive personal attack to point out that particular views label certain people and are narrow minded. Your own words did both.

The middle aged of the 90s were thatchers youth. The age of the yuppie and loadsamoney. .. Why is it being asserted, as Oliver is here in this quote that this group are less likely to become racist old people? They are as likely if not more so due to the demonisation of minorities in the 80s beginning with the Brixton riots. This is a separate debate,if you want to discuss it start a thread and I'll happily contribute.

'Farmers say the number of 4x4 tours taking tourists between High Tilberthwaite and Langdale increased from 30 a month in 2004 to up to 400 a month in 2017, destroying the tranquillity of the valley and eroding landscape.
The decision was made despite an online petition of 300,000 signatures and arguments from the trust and The International Council.' So private enterprise is being favoured over the rights of the people of the lakes? Of course it is. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/l...ours-l8b9q7wz3

It's a well explored sociological perspective.
