   Ah yes, the old 'trumpery' joke.   
      
   As an outsider, there are things I don't understand. For instance: Trump   
   said he wanted to make America great again (it may have been 'grate';   
   I've heard it but not seen it written). Harris now says that America is   
   the greatest nation on Earth. Is she saying that Trump succeeded?   
      
   (Pots and kettles? Scotland did for a while describe itself as "the best   
   small country in the world". No-one ever did explain how those   
   responsible had arrived at that conclusion.   
      
   )   
      
   I do wonder at the amount of time the BBC devotes to American elections.   
   Given that US elections drag on and on, for months and months - or is it   
   years? - and that there is some coverage every day, I suspect it adds up   
   to far more than our national broadcaster gives to British elections. If   
   so, is this right and proportionate? It's certainly tiresome.   
      
   FU2 aue alone.
