What...from the statement about the exciting Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh, now the BBC is hedging its bets - marking it as "RUSSIA 0 - 0 SOUTH KOREA" on screen at half time. (Not shouting btw, just an accurate quote of the case (upper-case) of the text as used by the BBC.) Now it is South Korea. You can't have it both ways BBC!:p

:eek::eek::eek: The BBC marking on-screen South Korea as "KOR" (rather than say, "SKR"). :eek:So the BBC is accepting that there is a state of the whole of Korea then. In accordance with what what the 'international community' accepts as North Korea maintains. Or what what the 'international community' accept as South Korea maintains.

Right into the controversy. Google accepting Kosovo - or not. Wikipedia:eek: subdividing one of its topics to go down to being a border with Algeria, and thus accepting the international community view as opposed to the claims of other parties:eek:. Either way! I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be impartial...?:rotfl::rotfl:

And the BBC. Obviously siding with both North (in international community's view) and South (in international community's view) Korea, by accepting "South Korea" (in the view of the international community) as being plain mere "Korea":eek:_pale_. (I say 'Either way!' as, if the BBC had marked it to suggest South Korea, I'd then be arguing it wasn't accepting the views of either of the "Koreas" as claiming the whole and thus, either way, is not "impartial". Either way, they have to fall down on one side or the other whatever they mark it as, hence my roll-arounds.)

Interestingly - or not, the BBC maintains "Kiev" (as it says that is known to its audience) which is the Russian name for the place in Ukraine (that is not the Ukraine name for the city). So it has been alleged that the BBC supports the Russian view instead of what is sovereign Ukraine territory.

As do manufacturers of ready meals comprising chicken breast filled with garlic and parsley butter

Well, I've never seen them advertised as chicken kyivs anyway

Caught up with GoT?

Regarding Ukraine, I was amazed that in 2012 Poland and Ukraine shared the UEFA matches. I assumed they were miles apart from each other and I was taken aback to see they shared a common border.
