The Archbishop of Canterbury has joined the ranks of those criticising Britain’s repatriation policy, the government seems to be settling on a figure of 200,000 for Hong Kong professionals who wish to return here, and dozens of people were killed in a Romanian anti-government rally against leader Nikolai Ceausescu.
