why the bbc is going down the pan

I don't get it. Is Hong Kong not in China?

Hong Kong is in China now, but it makes more sense to call the MTR Corp. a Hong Kong firm and not simply a Chinese one - it was set up as a government-owned corporation by the British in the 1970s and is still mostly owned by the semiautonomous HK government today, so there are probably much cozier relationships between the company and the UK government than you'd expect from a typical "Chinese firm."
 
Also, the article gave the impression that a "Chinese" company running our railways was something quite novel, failing to mention the fact that MTR has already been given the Crossrail franchise.

He wants to be raised from the dead? Why doesn't he leave Ian Paisley Jnr alone? Someone should fetch a ghost hunter!
 
Thankyou BBC news app.

8yo watches short video on the woman who takes daft pics of babies dressed as flowers... This finishes and it automatically plays the next video - a collection of pictures of injuted/dead children in various war zones.

I turned it off immediately, and bizarrely now I can't find the one that upset him.
 
Why some Brits are opting for Belgian citizenship

An easy way to get an EU passport prior to Brexit? Perhaps Belgium give out passports to anyone sending an SAE...

From reading the article though, the answer appears to be "because they've lived and worked there for at least five years". So it's not really a story at all is it?
anything you can tie a brexit spin to seems to be the order of the season. Warballs again.
 
"i vehemently oppose the direct Theresa May is taking this country"
