For many years I’ve collected model buses, aircraft, and trains, mostly from the UK. The process was always pretty simple: the vendor would discount the price because VAT wasn’t applicable, add a shipping cost, and send the item on its way. It usually arrived within two weeks. Shipping was…
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Android app also failing

So Starmer is trying to bribe Trump.... I can understand why it's tempting, but (a) it probably won't work, and (b) it weakens the rest of us. Sigh. Yet another disastrous consequence of Brexit.
