(2) pro-independence radicals, violent mobs, foreign forces and those who advocate mutual destruction to gain more political bargaining chips” - the moderate opposition camp should re-position, re-group and truly engage in rational, non-violent opposition, before the camp can
(3) regain a steady foothold in the political structure- some people argue that the opposition camp should boycott elections in order to "strike against the legitimacy of the govt", but this would ruin their own opportunities to promote democracy, as its promotion must involve
(4) systematic efforts to help improve people's livelihood; without the resources and platform that come with elected office, they can also function as mere pressure groups

(2) BNO was as good as toilet paper - yet these BNO holders from HK are supposed to be "full of gratitude" to the former colonial rulers & the former colonial empire - the UK Govt is happy as long as they can suck some money from them & use them as propaganda props against China ImageImage
(3) British National (Overseas) passports aka toilet paper

(1) Misleading FT article putting pressure on the HK Govt - does NOT mention that (a) the expats who are customers at the gym at the centre of the fast spreading Covid cluster ignored rules which others in the sector followed, making other gyms pay for their selfish acts
(2) (b) many children in HK have been quarantined (accompanied by parents or minders, with arrangements made on a case-by-case basis) & the quarantine centres are safe, clean & equipped with enough facilities & food is provided for free & requests can be made for special needs
(3) all that's required is a phone call or whatsapp message to the staff on duty (c) NOBODY should have any privileges - everyone should be treated equally - this is not some fxxking colony (d) to suggest that some kind of int'l finance body should decide how the HK Govt should
