If you’re in Yorkshire in October then what better way to prepare for Hallowe’en than with some Chinese horror? Def coolest poster we’ve had for a while too.

Still wondering whether UK schoolkids can learn Chinese well? The MOST exciting initiative atm, the MEP, is taking 1200 y9 pupils from England on a trip to China over the next fortnight. This may be the biggest ever delegation to China from a single country. #MandarinExcellence

Tongueless was published before the 2019 pro-democracy protests, but its prescient atmosphere and embedded language politics anticipated the curtailing of Hong Kong’s linguistic and social liberties after 2020.
