Slightly paraphrasing a sentence from a John Finnemore sketch - the true source of all evil in the world seems to be, in the official opinion of the BBC, the BBC.

Once tried to set up a Mac to make it easier to use for a senior citizen. Dragged the Safari icon from the weird expanding bobby bit up to the desktop to make it more obvious. It disappeared. I then couldn't find out how to fix it because I couldn't find out how to start Safari without Safari.

Trust Trump to answer a rhetorical question... and also to give the answer "no".

Teams used to be "invited to follow on" rather than have it "enforced". There's a certain tactical, passive aggressive Englishness in sending someone to the opposition dressing room to say "we'd like you to follow on, please".
