Chinese laundry workers get the heave ho!
SOURCES	It must be a joke but it's a funny one so I need to share it. For some while now, at least since the middle of 2023, MI5 has been making a great fuss about Chinese spies. There have been a number of publications taking the mickey out of his preposterous campaign; not least pointing out that whilst there have been many arrests or charges in the USA there have been none at all in the UK. In any case, the campaign is out of date now since the vast majority of MI5's caseload (so it is reported) arises from Gaza (you must have seen the latest election results!). But MI5 doesn't know when to quietly shut up and move on. This is the latest absurdity (or the latest to reach the press). Apparently Chinese laundry workers are being given the heave-ho (this is a nautical expression) in case they pass on the secrets they have gleaned from the dirty clothing sent to them.
