I’ve been up since 3.30 and have decided to start a thread, not sure how many tweets long, of my favourite types of internet people.
1. Self-declared Thatcherites who, with zero irony, think the UK’s bright, post-Brexit future should involve building a manufacturing industry.

2. Corbynistas who say with a straight face that Keir Starmer is enabling Boris Johnson and failing to provide sufficient opposition.
3. Well remunerated, privately-educated conspiracy theorists who, even in the fantasy world they've decided to inhabit, are living their worst life and at the bottom of every heap.
4. FBPE accounts who, even on Dec31, were tweeting things about stopping Brexit and demanding a "people's vote."
5. An old but good one: people who thought the answer to the EU's intransigent approach to negotiating a trade deal was to ... open trade negotiations with the United States of America.
6. People who have the words "award-winning" in their online bio without stating the award (full disclosure I have never won an award in my own right, other than best Luke at the annual convention 2010, 2014, 2018)
7. People who are pro-free trade, if that means kneecapping our best export industry while creating friction with our nearest import market which sells us lots of food in the hope that we start producing our own food at some unspecified time in the future.
8. People who voted Remain and refused to properly articulate what they wanted from a second referendum, instead focussing on stopping Brexit altogether. Things could be *very* different for them now...
