The US is pathetic.
“I’m on a huge wispy rhino fart” is the best anagram for that term.

Hello BBC News (for which I used to work). This is not an 'EU border nightmare'. This is the logical result of Britain's separation from the EU and treatment as a third country. Yes, people are suffering delays. That's what being outside the EU means. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
For decades, family doctors avoided even the appearance of thinning out their practice’s numbers of elderly patients. Dr Harold Shipman is taking a different approach.
