(3) took advantage of it to spread anti-China propaganda, masqueraded as "news" - that's why Falun Gong, which has been banned as a cult in China since 1999, has been able to operate in HK freely for decades, & has been able to distribute its Epoch Times in HK streets & newsstand

(2) said they & 2 dozen other HK people were annoyed cos the wait at the immigration counters at Heathrow Airport was long ("the Brits are known to be low in efficieny", he quipped) - while waiting, his wife tried to call relatives in HK with her mobile & he took a few photos
(3) (which was NOT allowed) - he said he tried to "protect his wife" by standing in front of her when British security & immigration officers suddenly grabbed her mobile - he was disappointed that the others didn't help him cos his English wasn't good enough to argue with them
