Yes - indeed - Denise Chow one of two reporters allowed into WIV has no doubt that the LL is pure crap - she got pushed to the back and my statement seems to have been selectively edited - sure investigate but only to put the bSto rest.

How can we have been so quick to defend our Chinese counterparts after raising the alarm in the first place. Fucking ridiculous.
