The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.

    They won’t but we sure will.

    Like in Jurassic park, the guys kidnap a baby T-Rex. It doesn’t mean the baby t Rex won’t kill you for lunch if you let it. It just means what the words mean…you took the T-rex by force from where it lived and away from it’s family.

    trump kidnapped maduro. Straight to the point and correctly describes what happened.
