He is an inspiration and a fine young man. He is not afraid to show his character and he is non-conformist. I salute Daniel Lismore.
Ellie G….you are very naughty. I know you are being ironic about the poor young man, but don’t you see that you piss taking could upset Daniel?
He can’t beat or out do Michael Foot, nevertheless good effort by him.
Good for him! We need more character in this dull world.
From what I know, the UK has had a long experience in the world of eccentricity, particularly in dress. While individual expressions are not always an unallowed delight for this Yank, the underlying spirit most certainly is.
