@MTIEurope @mtishows I’m principal of a school in Hong Kong and trying to purchase the license for Finding Nemo Kids. Can you help me? Thanks

.@adamwithnall's piece does something deeply irresponsible: it takes a tragedy and uses it to push a simplistic conclusion--“the bamboo has to go” without evidence, without understanding HK’s construction practice, and with a clear cultural bias. It is Orientalism. Anyone who has watched even one video knows the white plastic/fabric netting ignited first. It is highly flammable. It burns fast and drips fire. The bamboo, by contrast, is still standing on multiple blocks even after the blaze. If bamboo were the problem, it would have collapsed. Claiming bamboo “spread the fire” is simply false. Bamboo isn’t a quaint “quirky throwback.” It is a highly skilled, engineered system honed across decades, one that works specifically well because Hong Kong’s dense, humid, high-rise environment. If bamboo scaffolding were as unsafe as the article implies, Hong Kong would have had constant large-scale fires. We haven’t. This was the first Level 5 fire in 17 years. Blaming bamboo because it “looks traditional” is lazy and prejudiced reporting. Calling bamboo “quirky,” a “throwback,” and suggesting that Hongkongers should fear the sight of scaffolding the next morning is pure Orientalism. This is a textbook Western lens: Western methods = modern, safe Local methods = outdated, dangerous Hong Kong uses bamboo because it works, not because the city is nostalgic or backward.

@DGandyOfficial @carrieonison @British_Airways We had the exact same situation in the summer flying LHR to HKG. 2 y/o, 5 y/o and I also sat in completely different parts of the plane. I managed to get a kind person to swap so I had 2 y/o but poor 5 y/o was on his own the entire flight. No more BA for us.

@carrieonison @British_Airways I did allocate the seats on booking. But the system clearly had a glitch. I called up two days before. Held for 30 mins no answer. Same day after. Next day answered, online system would not allow me to switch seats. Check in said couldnt do anything.

Me: so @British_Airways you have oversold the flight. Seats allocated to us have disappeared and you think its ok for my 2 year old to be sat on her own next to a stranger? What if theres an emergency BA: well nothing we can do so yes its ok COME on BA you can do better than this

@CalMacFerries thank you to the helpful and empathetic employee on duty at Brodick ferry terminal this morning for ensuring we got on the boat with our sick boy despite no booking and boats at capacity all day.

Hey twitter pals. Could you do me a favour & reply with your fav emoji if this tweet appears in your feed? Since the latest changes were made, it seems that far fewer ppl are seeing my posts. I’m not here for the numbers, I’m here for the conversation & it’s all gone quiet 😔
