[Liverpool] Diaspora

[Daniel Hartley]

Seems like Widnes then must be the future.

For what its worth, I'm already on Libertree. The problem as I see it is

connected you have a sense of being othered and placing yourself amongst 
likeminded souls but who aren't connected to those more 'ordinary'..
