Dan Snow asks people to post a pic that encapsulates Britain – and it went exactly as expected

Not everyone decided to share lovely images of rolling hills and babbling brooks....

What first springs to mind when you think of Britain?

The White Cliffs of Dover, the Lake District, thatched cottages and pubs that have served customers for over a thousand years.

Well, Dan Snow, in an attempt to summarise all that is great about this green and pleasant land, asked people to share images that could only be taken in this country.

The son of Jon Snow and keen historian does have a cheeky side, but even he couldn’t have predicted the outcome.

This thread has gone exactly as I’d hoped. https://t.co/68JYzegD1X

And while some people did send some lovely pictures, the overarching response was pretty bleak!

We’ve picked out the best of the reactions:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
