No harm done, as the yokels won't see it, no internet connection or computers in the shire you see, too backward

Unfortunately its the sort of claptrap that the "it's my city" nimbys use to deny you a decent cinema and shops.
Herefordshire is beautiful, stunningly so but to have a bright future the city itself needs to have better facilities, career prospects and hope for its young people.
If those things were achieved it wouldn't make the landscape from Cusop to the Malverns, north Herefordshire to Symonds Yat any less appealing.

I find it incredibly patronising and I'm not even from Herefordshire.

Obviously, I can't identify with the article at all; living in the cosmopolitan, metropolitan sprawl that is Gloucestershire.

Got the impression the author filled it with rural stereotypes in a failed attempt to be mildly witty. Very little that actually reflects Herefordshire.

I know Quentin the journalist quite well, Leafy, he lives in the shire, its all a bit tonque in cheek, Glosbull would understand it as he mixes with the townees thus has a higher understanding of these things.

No hope for Pheonix though :-/
