@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..

@ComradePangloss @TheBossRoss

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 ..

@ComradePangloss @TheBossRoss

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
