He has not yet told me where he is politically and I am trying to anticipate this from some general cues from his demographic and manner. I will probably be completely wrong about this.

He's in his thirties and black which statistically makes him more likely to be a labour voter. I detect no wokeness tho as he's already asked if my husband is in so there's someone who will know how the electrics work. He happens to be right but still...

Very interesting man. Very well informed but largely on things I am not. Economics and 20th century war history. Just did a degree in psychology & criminology with the open university. Interested in systems of power but mostly economic ones, not identity-based ones.

Of course, I got him onto gender issues. Definitely not woke. Socially conservative Christian but in full support of gender equality & gets homicidal when women are abused. Thinks feminism has overreached and the pendulum needs to stabilise.

You may never see him again after he leaves. "So. Mrs Pluckrose, it seems that there is a problem with the left phalange. I need to get a special electrical tool from my van." Walks off slowly .... turns into a jog. Hurried run to the van. Slams door shut. Speeds off.

"I'm sure there are many things I can straighten him out on." That's an interesting statement. I'd like you to expand on this theme. How long have you been feeling that you are The Messiah?
