And these claims and counter-claims in an election campaign in the United States are important to me as I sit here in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, the UK because.....?

I am sick to death of the BBC's infatuation with all things US. It even has a section dedicated to US Elections on its website home page: Home - Coronavirus - US Election -UK ... If it's not Hollywood it's their minority sports, their businesses and their politics and no opportunity is missed to inflict them upon us on a regular basis. Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Google, Facebook ... did I mention Twitter? Did they tell you that someone didn't just say something - they Tweeted it? Look, here is a quote of what they said and here is an image of their tweet - it was on Twitter you know.

The BBC = US of America's overseas advertising agency.

Agreeing with you Frank, about all the Yank trivia being tedious, but to be fair the US Presidential race is of interest, because it affects the whole world really :? ;)

We were on a cruise several years ago and had lunch with a young American couple. It was the year when the vote in Florida had been mixed up
and affected the result. The American couple said it had been like that in previous elections bt didn't affect the result.
They also said there could be mistakes in counting the votes as the cross did not always align with the correct candidate.
Even now there may be problems with the postal votes.

And we have a PM who is lost in Scotland
