@metoffice.bsky.social Is there any way of making the outline of the UK more visible on images like this? I find it really difficult to find locations I have concerns about.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
