The "BBC" has a long history of weird "quote style" No one "knows why"
I think it must be a spy code like those number stations

They have (or had) a suspiciously high confession rate too.
It's worth reading the article, and better articles are available in the UK press too.
The coverup came from ignorance, no one actually knew this was happening but the NHS staff had reason to reassure patients and just assumed everything was ok without looking hard.
NHS management also didn't look.
When ministers tried to ask about it they got told everything was fine by their civil servants. And so they go out and tell the press everything is fine.
No one can start an investigation for the suspicions because it looks like admitting it's happening, and they genuinely didn't know it was. Because there had been no investigation.
"Standing back and viewing the response of the NHS and of government, the answer to the question 'was there a cover-up?' is that there has been. Not in the sense of a handful of people plotting in an orchestrated conspiracy to mislead, but in a way that was more subtle, more pervasive and more chilling in its implications. To save face and to save expense, there has been a hiding of much of the truth," Langstaff wrote.
"Over decades successive governments repeated lines to take that were inaccurate, defensive and misleading. Its persistent refusal to hold a public inquiry, coupled with a defensive mindset that refused to countenance that wrong had been done, left people without answers, and without justice. This has also meant that many people who are chronically ill have felt obliged to devote their time and their energies to investigating and campaigning, often at great personal cost."
Unless you're using js in your hardware drivers it's very unlikely to bring down the entire computer
But with the state of software development maybe you are /o\
Labour are sort of arguing for a change to a stable government which is the most ambitious bit of political messaging I could possibly think of.
Time will tell if sunak and the Tories are so hopeless it actually works
They're really, really bad at context. The main failure case isn't making things up, it's having text or image in part of the result not work right with text or image in another part because they can't even manage context across their own replies.
See images with three hands, where bow strings mysteriously vanish etc.
The unions really have momentum now
We need one of the classic xkcd comics with ten examples of something, just this kind of junction in different countries.
The UK would have traffic lights and staggered pedestrian crossings.
Yeah ok, I need to explain my thinking a bit.
Visiting France only, then two client states, drags France down to the level of client state. Not the nation itself of course but it makes the visit look uninportant.
Why not Germany? Why visit the EU and only one of France and germany? Sure France is important but the way this has been done by China doesn't give the appearance of a country seriously engaging with the global stage. It looks like they popped into France on the way to some friends. Or deliberately chose one of France and Germany to try and stir something.
Overall not a serious visit showing "disunity in Europe" but a poor attempt at stirring trouble and revealing how little china cares about anyone it can't just buy and bully into obedience.
Everyone be sure to keep an eye out for police cyclists, if it looks like their cycle has an electric bit on it be sure and report them to darin
