Package in morning post, arrived speedily and no hassle from France, and still boggles my mind that I can order anything from anywhere between here and Russia no problem at all, *except* from next door cos most UK politicians are venal pricks and the average UK voter is… eh… (charitably) easily led

I take your point, and Brexit has been a disaster in all sorts of big and little ways, but are we in a position to judge 'the average UK voter'? Without even the excuse of unfair electoral system we still elect gobshites again and again. I mean, if it's venal pricks you're looking for...

Fair enough. It's probably living here, and then, when I'm home explaining to people that no, I'm not surrounded by George's Cross daubing white racists the whole time that makes me sensitive to what can read like caricatures about the English.

And the same people destroyed the Royal Mail years ago in every sense. Sad irony the country that invented the postal service came to this.

Oh sure, rub it in. You can get packages from other countries. Those were the days!
