Redditch is a town, a borough, and a parliamentary constituency, but it is rather surprising to read that @redditchrachel is now "working for Redditch county." For a start, such an entity would presumably be called Redditchshire... @christel_UoBhttps://twitter.com/redditchrachel/status/1110251317434425353 …

The distinction between 'county' and 'borough' constituencies is archaic, a leftover from when county constituencies were actual counties. In any case, "Redditch County" with capitalised 'County' implies a county called Redditch, whereas you meant "Redditch county constituency"

In any case, this is just a confusing anachronism as nobody uses this terminology in everyday life. For example, Redditch Borough Council recorded your being elected as the "Member of Parliament for Redditch" - which is very clear.pic.twitter.com/ki3sckzuTL

Even the Government website isn't aware of 'Redditch County'
BTW, I saw you responded very quickly about the Redditch County comment, I also notice it's taking you far longer to reply to my 'am I welcome in redditch?' question. Do I need to go to Westminster to get an answer?pic.twitter.com/Wqbyixaudb

If you look at all my comments on Brexit I have consistently said we need the deal to protect the rights of EU citizens, and that we welcome and want them to stay in the country and Redditch, so your attack is quite inaccurate. Please write to me for a full personal response.

Ah, the great Leavers of Redditch to the rescue. Been here 5 years, I have NEVER heard it being called Redditch County. But hey whatever takes your fancy.
@redditchrachel I'll ask you again, are Europeans welcome in Redditch (County or otherwise)? Still waiting for an answer....Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

For small-minded people like you who live in their own wee bubble maybe. Welcome to the 21st century, there's a big world out there...
