They knew the power was in the headline. They knew what they were doing, they made it provocative knowing that they would get away with it and the backlash was worth the clicks. There's no justification for this.
@alexandrabulat
As the first Korean councillor in the UK I say a huge congratulations!! Well done for giving the racists something to stew about. No one should have to put up with that but it’s your success which has infuriated them so much, so they’ll be furious for the next four years 😄
@modooborahae
It's just also not very well written. Needed a decent sub-editor to trim because the sentences verged on incoherent half the time. Just because you're writing about pop music, you don't have to overcompensate by trying to be clever.
Congratulations to

on his selection as the Labour West Central candidate.
Thank you to all those voted for me. It was truly humbling to have the support so many wonderful people.
Now let's get the Tories voted out of the West Central seat next May!
I'm pleased to announce that I'm running to be the Labour candidate for the West Central London Assembly seat. I've received the backing and encouragement of some amazing supporters in the area and look forward to speaking with many of you soon

Having music repeatedly mansplained to me when I was younger really ruined my enjoyment of it for a few years. Thankfully I've developed a fantastic ability to filter out the droning sound.... 🙆🏻♀️

It's hard to build a globally without a growth strategy, BTS alone can't propel a whole genre. Their success is the exception that proves the rule. Example: K-beauty has been hyped for years but it hasn't hit any of the projected targets in sales or brand recognition

Yes, they've calculated a hierarchy of what they can use for clicks and Asians are low down. As other comments in your original thread have pointed out, replace "Asians" with other ethnic minorities and this would have blown up in their faces

It was a real honour to spend the day with these British heroes of the Korean War. Nearly 100,000 British soldiers went to Korea to fight, a fact that is not as widely known as it should be 🇰🇷🇬🇧

Investment doesn’t indicate that Charing Cross hospital A&E is safe. A £2 million investment into the maternity unit at Ealing hospital didn’t save it from being closed 2 years later.
There are no plans to ‘demolish’ Charing Cross Hospital. Increasing demand for acute hospital services has prompted our latest investment of £7.2 million into A&E at Charing Cross, which will be fully completed by June 2019. 1/

There’s proliferation of ‘Korean’ dishes sold in London restaurants at the moment that just have a bit of 고추장 chucked randomly into the recipe 😆

You could argue that iced americano makes more sense in sub-zero temperatures as it melts much more slowly and doesn't dilute it further.... although I imagine the whole drink freezes solid after a while outdoors anyway 😄
In Hammersmith and Fulham we fly the Union Jack, the St George’s Cross, the EU flag and on one memorable occasion the flag of South Korea too. I’m proud to be part of

We made a firm commitment that Charing Cross will continue to provide its current A&E and wider services for at least the lifetime of the North West London Sustainability and Transformation plan, which runs until April 2021. 2/
The Spectator publishes another racist piece by Rod Liddle, in which he mocks a Labour MP who was a victim of domestic violence, having himself previously been arrested for assaulting his then pregnant girlfriend.

Joe - this is simply not true. 91% of H&F schools rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Was 83% when you left office in 2014. I’ve asked you before to stop talking down teachers and pupils in our schools. To do it for political purposes in an election campaign is beyond the pale.
Hammersmith Town Hall is getting a makeover 🤩. In my 10 years as a resident, I have had one person say they like the brutalist 70s extension. Everyone else cannot wait for that ugly box on stilts to be torn down 💥
At long last, the end is nigh for Hammersmith's Town Hall variously described as “that foul extension building” a “blight” on King Street specifically, and on Hammersmith more generally, and in the council's own words: plain "ugly"
I can see what

Let's see if the heath secretary responds. The Public Accounts Committee's report is damning.
