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.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Ludicrous. Will restrict travel to essential business trips only.

Starmer offered big US tech firms tax cuts in return for lower Trump tariffs Exclusive: UK willing to placate Trump with lower digital services tax rate also encompassing non-US companies

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.

Good luck, DOGE kids. And your lawyers...

I have got to say to the people of the USA, if there is a war between the USA and Denmark.

Pick Denmark - Better wages, much better life expectancy, much better healthcare, taxes are even lower if you aren't a millionaire.
