Why did you redact sections?

John Clarke: er, um, I think, er, what I meant was.

Probably because you're in a foreign country. We wouldn't want you to see how our Parliament works ;)

No, it's because the website requires I install some Microshit.

I know you like windows, Biff. I can tell you like gates too.

And I'm sure they work well too, unlike the other kind. You know what they say about windows letting bugs in? :lol:

And I have to assume that Biff's windows don't ask "Are you sure?" when you want to close them.

Is it true that you can't watch it on a MAC? That seems strange. (and wrong)

My screen currently has this message:
We would welcome your feedback so please contact us with any comments or suggestions

But they have to have a complicated web of command (not a "chain", note) so that when anything goes wrong they can all blame each other.
