I think it would be great if we could bring in information from Facebook. In particular, the Lancaster Past & Present group is a hotbed of people complaining about one thing or another, especially local issues. There is a facebook SDK for python here which we could use. I don't know yet whether we can get geographical information about Facebook posts, if we can't, then we could restrict it just to posts to Lancaster Past & Present, for example.

As discussed at CfL on 30th April 2019, Facebook data, due to its nature, likely needs to be displayed differently and over a longer period of time to that from the tweets.
