This is *wild*, for once I don’t think he’s lying, I think he actually believes the clearly computer typed letters on a photograph produced by the White House are real, it’s not even photoshop
Krasnov?

A huge thank you to the hundreds of attendees and dozens of fantastic speakers who made yesterday so memorable.
A special thanks to The City of London Corporation and @icaew.bsky.social for all their support.
