I tell you what, that blowing up passenger planes stuff is BANG out of order.
*I in know way intend any opprobrium to be cast upon me, so I apologize in advance if I have offended anyone and offer my sincerest regret if such a scenario were to unfold. I assure you all that I do not derive joy from the deaths of innocent people (nor non-innocents).
as we do to Anglophones? Be realistic, j. If we cared about dead foreigners, we'd never stop feeling sad.
As the old newsroom rule has it: 'Dead Belgians don't count".
Leading with "nine britons killed in air crash" then shortly afterwards "almost 300 people died".
I wouldn't find it offensive if they swapped the order but it just makes no sense to me that nine dead of our lot is more of a story than 300 dead assorted furrins
