    Trump is not an ideas man. He can be relied on by those pulling the strings to put unpalatable stuff out there and deflect any flak using outrage. He has no statesman reputation or much future to worry about. Heaven sent for those who want to bypass the normal political and diplomatic processes.

    Ego LM1903E-SP. I also added a rear roller which I haven't tried yet (laziness!). It's a superb machine and light as a feather, certainly compared to the old Honda I had before, and it folds up quickly so storage is great too. No issue with the battery but it's only been a year.

    That's right, I have them in my garden, they come in from the hedgerows. I leave them in odd corners because they're pretty and brighten the place up, but I get rid of lots too.
