    Scorned She-Devil takes a back seat

    B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 20/08/2017

    » The phone number was not one I knew, but still I took the call. "This is immigration police … we'd like to make a time to see you."

    News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 29/05/2022

    » An expression which is increasingly heard these days on television and in political comment is the rather cryptic "it is what it is". Not exactly an illuminating observation, and it prompts the question, "But, what is it?" Apparently it means a certain situation that cannot be changed however much you want and carries an element of resignation.

    Asia focus, Published on 30/12/2019

That prediction has not yet been fully realised, but few would disagree that 2019 belonged to China. Over the past 12 months, the top headlines have been about the bruising trade war with America, defiant protests in Hong Kong against Beijing's tightening grip, and the rise of a surveillance state that is herding hundreds of thousands into "re-education" camps on its western fringes.

"The interruption gave the impression that some politicians are still self-serving, rather than serving both their voters and their country. This is unfortunate."
