(1) Welcome to the WTF HK Protest "Damn, I'm trapped in the UK with a gloomy future" Series - "shouldn't it be I go to Yale, U go to jail, like Nathan Law?" Special Edition
U must be dying to know how the HK riot-instigators-turned-fugitives
(2) are faring in the UK - here's my last WTF thread to bid farewell
(3) Let's look at the unknown, lower level fugitives who have fled HK to London, like ex-photographer Jim Wong, who's now trapped with a bleak future
(4) How does Jim Wong make ends meet in expensive London? He counts on online donations on those willing to read about his plight & sad stories
(5) Finn Lau was in Britain during the HK protests & invented “laam caau” (攬炒 mutual destruction)- “If we burn, you burn with us” to incite people online to riot in HK from his UK home - which Lau used as a sign-off on LIHKG online forum - also known for his fake "blood" antic
(7) What about Simon Cheng, the prostitution solicitor who used to work for the British Consulate, who built up an image of a political victim for the perfect application for political asylum in the UK, & set up a HK "Shadow Parliament" in the UK?
(9) What about Nathan Law - the UK-based HK fugitive who's been turned into a "celebrity" by Western media? Check out how he's worshiped like a cult leader (he got to go to Yale & got famous, the others didn't) - a male adult giving him a cute doll to please him
(10) Here's Nathan Law calls for people to hate billions of Chinese people & millions of HK people who defend HK's national security law as "enemies", specializing in incitement, hate-mongering
(11) Let's check out the regular weekly gathering of the attention-seeking anti-China fanatic cult made up of HK fugitives fleeing criminal responsibilities - sad gatherings in London of maybe a dozen or two - checking the scene & lamenting the old times in HK
(12) For those dying to be baptized by the fanatic anti-China cult led by these UK-based HK protest fugitives, U can listen to their every word in this meticulously curated 100% one-sided propaganda documentary by German state broadcaster DW, which does not for a second mention
(13) how these are also riot instigators who incited radicals to beat up, terrorize & burn alive innocent citizens during the riots by refusing to condemn violence by rioters
(14) And how are these poor HK fugitives doing financially? BEGGING? Maybe Western media got to get them to say this to justify the burden on British taxpayers' money, which will be spent on indulging them - they gotta protest full-time
(15) former HK photographer & rioter (wanted in HK for multiple charges), Jim Wong, dreams about how his life in the UK could be - down south in Brighton with beaches & sunshine - hopefully no one would hurt him given his Chinese face & bad English....
"calling for" not "calls for"
