I met an MP

I got a tip yesterday and got so excited about that, I forgot to share the other bit of news that I reckon is more important. The news is that a labour MP came to the shop yesterday.

For what it's worth, I don't know much about UK politics. I think Hive account@talesfrmthecrypt would have more information about this but what I did get is that there are "Toris", there's "Labour" and I think conservatives.

I deduced that Toris are in charge at the moment but labour, who are the rival party, if you may, will be taking over soon. So, if that's the case, the MP that visited our shop will be a big deal as she will be heading.

For people who don't know what an MP is, think of them like Senators and executives. They do the typical "ayes and nays" in their gathering, the represent constituencies and they also head government parastatals and whatnot.

As tempted as I am to name drop because now that I've met an MP, I'm kind of a big deal, I won't. However, I will mention that the MP is a lady and she had a warm and friendly smile.

Meeting such an important person in a clandestine little shop in a corner of the city center was a big culture shock for me. If it were in Nigeria, a senator would require crazy amount of protocol and police protection to even go out of his house. It is rather incredible how different life can be in different parts of the world.
