I forget the BBC has a section in Pidgin.

https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/world-58710689

Makes the story worth reading...

It might be just me, but this smacks a little of "Let's all laugh at the funny way those foreign people speak". 🤔

I think it's a fine line to tread tbh, given that one of the replies opened with a ROFL emoji..

I'm sure it wasn't the intention, and yes, the world is quite rightly laughing at the UK's actions at the moment!

Bravo! Oh, and December if the internet is to be believed, I might binge 1-5 again before it does.
