@TheBossRoss
I have found a brexit benefit.
Brexit has brought a lot of like minded people together on social mediA.
Some of who I actually regard as friends, even although I will never meet them.
Tim Berners-Lee created a means for like minded people to communicate without ever actually meeting..
Uninteresting fact of the day - Tim B-L's brother is one of my constituents!
@lizneedhamSTAR @TheBossRoss Wow. Well done you ..
I reckon they have to live somewhere lol.
They are an interesting family, their mum and dad were mathematicians.
It figures he would live in a Lib Dem area lol ..
@lizneedhamSTAR @TheBossRoss As an addendum. I read your profile.
I loved your 'woke as a woke thing'
He is a big supporter of asylum seekers and refugees which ties in with the charity that I chair, St Albans for Refugees.
@lizneedhamSTAR @TheBossRoss it gives me a nice feeling when facets of English life emerge that are not to do with nostalgia driven exceptionalism.
You are indeed as woke as a woke thing.
@ComradePangloss @TheBossRoss Just FYI, I'm Irish! 🤣
@lizneedhamSTAR @TheBossRoss like me you are a facet of Englishness. okay we are the superior race being Woke celts..lol
Of course St Albans need Lizzie Needham rockin in the Dail for us..
note： Lizzie is needed to fit in with the tune
@lizneedhamSTAR @TheBossRoss And of course you realise Barak Obama is Irish
@ComradePangloss @TheBossRoss Absolutely! The purest of Irish men!
@ComradePangloss @TheBossRoss You're lucky that you gave me an explanation because I would mostly thump anyone who called me Lizzie!
@lizneedhamSTAR @TheBossRoss I figured that lol.
@ComradePangloss Thank you. I do try. 😉
