South West Conservative MEP Ashley Fox has announced he has “bowed to pressure and joined the 21st century” and has signed up for an account on the social networking site Facebook.
In the announcement on his website, he writes: “As probably its millionth(ish) user I feel quite special.”
“I hope to use this as a means to keep those interested regularly updated with what I have been doing on your behalf. I promise I will not be using it to inform you every time I have a cup of tea, unlike some users, but will reserve updates for relevant EU or South West news.”
His account can be found at facebook.com/ashleyfoxmep and immediately you can see one advantage of the new Facebook “timeline” layout for MEPs – the map feature that allows the user to tag his various activities around the region. Very useful.
Mr Fox becomes the third of our region’s representatives to join Facebook after his Tory colleague Julie Girling and the long-serving Liberal Democrat Sir Graham Watson.
