Sometimes in the UK, it s just so strange that things might go one way, but their names might indicate otherwise. For instance, the British Broadcasting Corporation could be broadcasting fake news; Arsenal might fail to find a gunner to shoot and score; Coldplay s concerts are often as popular as fire. And the calls for independence never cease in a United Kingdom. Let s face it, this is a weird place.
This is the same case for the so-called Uyghur Tribunal, to be held on June 4, in London, where the audiences, long drenched in a kind of Shakespearean cultural richness, have become picky-eaters when it comes to dramas. In a place labeled as a tribunal, however, what s going on in the theatrical tribunal is not Portia preserving justice with her sophisticated wisdom.
