Yorkshireman and EU citizen. Still angry about Brexit, watching with bewilderment as Labour stumble about trying to ignore the elephant in the room and the US turns to the dark side. Loving this place after abandoning Twitter… #FBPE 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇧🇪 🇪🇺 🚲

Trying to get setup on #wSocial, what a dogs dinner, I had to try 3 different types of eIdentity before it would accept one, and even that took multiple attempts. Now it refuses to accept the email validation codes it just sent me. How do they expect to challenge techbros like that…🤦‍♂️
