While David Lammy charmed the pews of Castor with tales of choirboy innocence, Westminster grit, and the delicate art of surviving ecclesiastical pitch correction, one familiar Peterborough voice remained conspicuously silent. The Peterborough Telegraph, that trusty beacon of regional reportage, was last seen neck-deep in alphabetical press releases and trying to divine the mystical click value of a council bin update.
Indeed, while CambsNews captured every brass tack and pulpit punchline, the PT appeared to be sorting its inbox like a bureaucratic librarian at closing time—A for Angling Club AGM, B for Bin Adjustments, and absolutely no room under L for Lammy unless accompanied by a guaranteed uptick in engagement metrics. Rumor has it the story scored a dismal 2.3 Clicks Per Enthusiast (CPE), narrowly edged out by “Wet Paint Outside Queensgate: What It Means For You.”
One can only assume that unless the Foreign Secretary had arrived dressed as a giant inflatable carrot protesting pothole funding, his story simply didn’t pass editorial muster. After all, Peterborough’s unofficial motto remains “Nothing To See Here, Please Scroll Down.”
So we salute CambsNews for covering what the PT couldn’t—or wouldn’t—and tip our hat to the city’s paper of record, which may yet surprise us with a 400-word opinion piece titled “Why Castor Isn’t Technically Peterborough.” But until then, this local landmark moment will remain safely filed under Not In Other News.
