They are corrupt and arbitrary in the name of the people! We will hold the red flag high in the name of revolution and protest march on the streets!
Thank goodness the subtitles of News Review are kept, unlike other programmes such as English in a Minute, The English We Speak. The subtitles of those programmes have recently been removed. Hopefully BBC Learning English would consider looking into the matter.
