Tanzania was the country of his birth.

How do you fathom that, given it didn't exist at the time? He was born in Zanzibar.

Yes, I visited is place of birth whilst in Zanzibar.

I was being very pedantic - Tanzania wasn't a place when he was born.

Uhm, sure about that?

Sorry to bring up the 'B' word:

STEVEN WOOLFE
The UKIP MEP attempted to claim the late Freddie Mercury as a Brexiteer, despite the Queen singer having been dead since 1991. After Donald Tusk quoted the band’s lyric “friends will be friends, right till the end”, Woolfe hit back: “Freddie also said ‘I want to break free’. 17.4 million of us still do and won’t forget your so-called ‘friendship’ ever.”
Well, Mercury also wrote “I suck your mind, you blow my head / Make love inside your bed” but I wouldn’t base a manifesto on it. And though the Tanzania-born, flamboyantly camp Freddie would surely have fitted right in at a UKIP conference, his bandmate Brian May recently said, “Brexit is a disaster, because the losses that are caused by it will be huge for us. Brexit is the dumbest thing Britain has ever done in my lifetime”.

Next you'll be telling me Freddie Mercury was English born and rather than Tanzanian.

Indeed. I saw several tug boats this morning towing the square mile and CW out into international waters.....

Never fails to amaze me how many English menfolk require the geography of their country revealed to them by a Scotsman.

That's all well and good but the City of London is not part of the UK. And therefore the EU. In effect the above legislation means nothing to the CoL.
