Future plc now own and administer this website and the magazine, among many others.
Future plc are an international digital media marketing company and this website is administered from within the US.
Forum members from all over the world are allowed to use this website and forum, we've had some interesting contributions from Canada and Australia at times.
The website uses an automatic anti-advert (spam) filter which blocks around 95% of the spam that's aimed our way, and Damian and myself usually remove those that have beaten the algorithms, with your help, thanks to your vigilance and cooperation.
I view all 'foreign looking' posts with suspicion, especially those that revive older threads.
I used to ban them on sight, but I had my knuckles rapped for banning strange foreigners before they'd actually posted an unauthorised advert, so now I have to bide my time despite my suspicions. 🤨
As for the US Presidential elections, it's a topic best avoided here.
Many of us regard any British prime minister with ribald cynicism and we certainly don't revere them or any UK politician.
That's not always the case in the US.
Their president is their head of state, it really wouldn't do to publicly insult their heads of state past or present, so to avoid the usual British insulting disregard that is sometimes expressed here, we leave American politics to the Americans. 😊 🇺🇸
