@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..
@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..

@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.
